HOW IT IS CALCULATED
Use packed dimensions, not the bare cabinet.
The tool adds the volume of rectangular packages. Centimetres and inches are converted to metres before multiplying; package quantity applies to every row.
- Formula
- Row CBM = length in metres × width in metres × height in metres × package quantity. Total CBM is the sum of all rows.
- Unit conversion
- 1 centimetre = 0.01 metre. 1 inch = exactly 0.0254 metre. Dimensions in a row use the unit selected in the tool.
- Worked example
- Two crates measuring 120 × 80 × 210 cm each have a total volume of 4.032 m³. These are example packing dimensions, not specifications for a listed machine.
- Gross weight
- Enter the gross weight of one packed unit in kg. If any row has no weight, the complete shipment weight remains unknown.
BEFORE BOOKING
CBM is one input to a freight quotation.
This result does not calculate freight prices, chargeable weight or how packages will fit inside a container. Stackability, door clearance, loading order, weight limits, route and handling can change the booking.
- Get the packing list
- Ask for model-specific outer package dimensions, number of pieces and gross weights after the packing method is agreed.
- Confirm the destination
- Include destination country and port or postal code, delivery terms and unloading requirements in the request.
Unit reference: NIST length definitions. One inch is exactly 0.0254 metres.
