Cubing is a fundamental process in the transportation of goods, especially in special transports such as heavy machinery and large containers. It consists of calculating and making the best use of the available space, guaranteeing efficiency and safety in loading without exceeding the established weight or volume limits.
Below, we will explain the calculation of the cubic capacity of different containers and special cargoes, as well as the importance of this concept for logistics efficiency.
How to Calculate the Cubic Capacity in Machinery and Container Transportation
Cubage is calculated by measuring the total volume occupied by the cargo within a container or transport space. The resulting cubic volume is optimized to maximize the efficiency of the space occupied by the goods, without compromising safety or exceeding legal limits.
Basic Formula to Calculate Cubing:
Length × Width × Height = Total Volume (in m³ or cubic meter)
Cubing for Special Transports in 20-foot Containers
- Capacity: 33.2 m³
- Dimensions:
- Length: 5.90 m
- Width: 2.35 m
- Height: 2.39 m
- Maximum weight: 26,000 kg
- Empty weight: 2,300 kg
The 20-foot container is ideal for transporting compact machinery and standard cargo that does not require large volumes of space, always considering the kg cubic capacity for efficient distribution.
Capacity and Cubing in 40-foot Machinery Containers
- Capacity: 67 m³
- Dimensions:
- Length: 12.03 m
- Width: 2.35 m
- Height: 2.39 m
- Maximum weight: 28,500 kg
- Empty weight: 3,780 kg
The 40-foot container is perfect for transporting heavy machinery of larger volume, offering a balance between load capacity and weight.
Cubing in 40 HC Containers for Special Transports
- Capacity: 76 m³
- Dimensions:
- Length: 12.03 m
- Width: 2.35 m
- Height: 2.39 m
- Maximum weight: 30,500 kg
- Empty weight: 4,020 kg
The 40-foot High Cube (HC) container is an ideal choice for bulky cargo or machinery that requires more headroom.
Cubing in 45 HC Containers for Customized Transport
- Capacity: 86 m³
- Dimensions:
- Length: 13.56 m
- Width: 2.35 m
- Height: 2.39 m
- Maximum weight: 32,500 kg
- Empty weight: 4,800 kg
The 45-foot HC container is ideal for customized transports with high volume cargo or large machinery, ensuring an efficient use of space.
Machinery Transportation: Safe and Efficient
Transporting heavy machinery requires detailed planning to ensure safety and regulatory compliance. Knowing the right container types for each load is key in this process. In addition, a correct cubic capacity calculation allows optimizing the load, reducing operating costs and improving the overall efficiency of the service.
Calculation of the Capacity of Boxes in Machinery Transportation
To calculate the cubic capacity of a box, the basic formula is used:
Length × Width × Height
Example: If you have a box of 50 cm × 40 cm × 30 cm:
50×40×30=60,000 cm350 \times 40 \times 30 = 60,000\ cm³50×40×30=60,000 cm3
This calculation is key to ensure that the goods fit properly into the available space in the truck or container.
This calculation is key to ensure that the goods, with their corresponding centimeters (cm) of height, fit properly into the space available in the truck or container.
