Understand the numbers

CBM / cubic metres

Length × width × height in metres. Nominal container volume alone does not establish whether packaged cargo can fit or pass through the door.

Payload, tare and gross weight

Payload is cargo carrying capacity. Tare is the empty container’s mass. Loaded gross weight includes both; actual equipment and route limits must also be checked.

Door clearance

The usable door opening can be smaller than the internal space. This tool assumes each unit enters straight in the displayed orientation.

High cube / reefer / special equipment

High cubes offer greater height. Reefers need temperature and airflow planning. Open tops and flat racks need equipment-specific handling and securing review.
