🚢 Container Loading Calculator

Calculate how many items fit in a 20ft, 40ft, or 40ft high cube shipping container by volume and weight.

Shipping Container Capacities

A standard 20ft container has approximately 33.2 CBM of usable volume with a max payload of about 28,200 kg. A 40ft standard container offers about 67.7 CBM (28,800 kg), while a 40ft high cube provides about 76.3 CBM (28,560 kg).

This calculator uses a simplified volume-based approach. Real-world loading also depends on item shape, stacking ability, and weight distribution. Always account for some wasted space due to irregular item dimensions.
