ℹ️ Axis-aligned stacking (best orientation, no diagonal rotation). Approximate internal dimensions. Real loading depends on weight, bracing and goods. 100% local.

Calculate the load

Pick the container and enter the box dimensions: the tool shows the number of boxes and the fill rate.

Example (20 ft, box 40×30×30 cm)

Frequently asked questions

Which container dimensions?

Approximate internal sizes: 20 ft ≈ 589×234×239 cm, 40 ft ≈ 1203×234×239 cm, 40 HC ≈ 1203×234×269 cm.

How does the tool count?

It tests axis-aligned orientations and keeps the best (no diagonal rotation or interlocking).

Is it the real figure?

It is a theoretical maximum: weight, bracing, pallets and goods often reduce the total.
