20呎及40呎貨櫃是最普遍使用的貨櫃,他們的呎吋及負重如下:
20呎貨櫃
呎吋 (長x闊x高) 234 x 92 x 96 吋 等於 595 x 234 x 244 厘米 等於 33.972 CBM
最重可負荷: 35,000 磅 (15,890 千克)
40呎貨櫃
呎吋 (長x闊x高) 474 x 92 x 96 吋 等於 1204 x 234 x 244 厘米 等於 68.744 CBM
最重可負荷: 45,000 磅 (20,430 千克)
一隻40呎貨櫃的負重不等於兩隻20呎貨櫃
如果你要計算它的CBM不是單把長、闊、高乘起來。因為你需要的是一個櫃可以放多少貨。香港有很多人都唔用pallet,但標准計算應如下:
1. Calculate how many pieces of product will fit on a standard pallet.
2. Calculate the gross weight of one product piese: net weight of proct + empty weight of its container or package (i.e. product + its packing)
3. Calculate the gross weight of one piece x number of pieces that will fit on the pallet.
4. Add the weight of the empty pallet to the previous total, to obtain the gross pallet weight.
5. Divide the capacity of the shipping container by the gross pallet weight, to determine the maximum number of pallets that can be put in the container. For space limitations, no more than 16 pallets can be put in a 20-foot container; no more than 36 pallets in a 40-foot container. On 40-foot containers, total weight is usually the limiting factor which results in fewer than 36 pallets capacity.
6. For the total shipping weight, multiply the gross pallet weight by the number of pallets to be put in the shipping container.
The total pallet size is total shipping CBM.
