Ever tried to determine what number of pallets or what number of containers will match right into a container?
Let me present you a easy manner which can help you in calculating what number of containers
you require to ship at a time. What you’ll need to know prior to creating the calculation is
the inner dimensions of a container.
I’m going to focus on the 20ft Normal Function and the 40ft Normal Function
container.
Inside Dimensions of 20ft GP (6 metre dry container)
Size x Width x Peak
590cm x 235cm x 239cm
Inside Dimensions of 40ft GP (12 metre dry container)
Size x Width x Peak
1203cm x 235cm x 239cm
[For this exercise to work all your pallets or boxes must be of equal size]
e.g.
When you have a pallet 110cm (Size) x 110cm (Width) x 120cm (Peak) and you might be
packing a 20ft GP container.
Divide your Size of pallet into Size of Container
590 div 110 = 5, 36
Divide your Width of pallet into Width of Container
235 div 110 = 2, 13
Divide your Peak of pallet into Peak of Container
239 div 120 = 1, 99
(Drop the numbers after the comma)
Now multiply your solutions
5 x 2 x 1
= 10
Due to this fact 10 Pallets will match right into a 20ft GP container.
*You are able to do the identical calculation for a 40ft GP container (12 metre dry)
Now that you recognize precisely what number of containers you’ll require to ship, your costing per cargo will likely be far more correct than a mere guessing recreation. With this in thoughts, I want you each little bit of success in your future shipments!
