Shipment details

The estimate assumes uniform cartons in a regular pattern. Palletisation, lashing space and non-stackable goods reduce real capacity. Internal dimensions vary slightly between lines.

How it calculates
The tool tests all six carton orientations, selects the best regular stacking pattern, then checks the result against the container's payload. Where weight is the binding constraint, that figure governs.
Limits of the estimate
The calculation assumes uniform cartons in a regular pattern. Mixed loads, lashing space, palletisation and non-stackable goods all reduce real capacity. Internal dimensions also vary slightly between shipping lines.
