Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What is the usable volume of a 40ft high cube?+

Its nominal internal volume is approximately 76.4 m³. Real usable volume is lower once carton dimensions, clearance, pallets, and securing materials are considered.

Why does a packing result differ from a CBM comparison?+

CBM compares volume only. Physical packing also depends on the three carton dimensions, allowed orientations, gaps, and the container door opening.

Are container dimensions identical across every carrier?+

No. Published dimensions and payloads vary slightly by manufacturer and equipment series. Confirm the exact container specification before final loading.
