Note:

• Include pallet weight and dimensions if applicable.
• Placement refers to position-rotations of the load or carton to gain better cubic utilisation.  If it is a pallet load or if the load is required to be in an upright position then check this box, as no rotation/turning of the load would be desirable.
• Pending on container design and construction the maximum cargo weights are generally as a guide, restricted to:

• Standard 20 foot              ≈ 21,600 kg
• Standard 40 foot              ≈ 26,500 kg (including (9’ 5”) high cube)

Examples:
One (1) pallet load with measurements of 1000 mm x 1000 mm x 1000 mm with a gross weight of 100 kg without changing placement using a 40’ Standard Dry Container.
This allows approximately 48 units to be in the container based on volume.
Using the above examples data, if the gross weight is 1000 kg it allows approximately 26 units to be in the container based on weight, due to the containers cargo weight limitations.
