hello, i am in the progress of ordering some cement mixers and the supplier has provided a quantity of 160 units per 40ft container. The measurements are 75x65x72


Does anyone know how to calculate the quantities for a 20ft container or even a 40ft hc container?.

Hello,

while the container sizes may vary to a small extent they will be roughly the same.

20' FCL: 5.9m x 2.35m x 2.39m, volume 33.0 cbm, max net (loadable) weight 24.8mt

40' FCL: 12m x 2.35m x 2.39m, volume 67.0 cbm, max net weight 28.8mt

40' HC: 12m x 2.35m x 2.69m, volume 76.0 cmb, max net weight 28.5mt

Note that road freight is normally limited to 24mt so it is not always legal to load more than this even to the 40' containers. Check regulations in your country. Also please note that above 16.5mt you will have to pay an overweight surcharge at most forwarders.

So, calculate the volume of each machine and see how many units would fit into the container, and see if this quantity would not exceed the weight limits. It is a good idea to leave a little space in the container so that unloading becomes easier.

One more thing to consider (although as usual Gabor have detailed everything perfectly). There is also the issue that packing a product as "weirdly" shaped as a cement mixer (I am assuming these are the small ones not a truck one). There will be issues in the way they CAN be packed into a container, unless they are actually crated. which would make things easier packing wise.

If they are crated your HANDLING fees (and ease of handling) in Australia will be better than if they are "loose" packed... I would be requesting they be individually crated and liftable by forks...... MUCH easier and a heck of a lot cheaper in the unloading process!

You might also consider what Gabor says about the max weight you can have for trucking purposes one the container gets to Aus..... How much actual physical space is going to be left over in that container? ie after reaching the weight limit is the container only half full? If so is there something else light that can be packed on top to maximise the container space and spread out the shipping cost?.... Check the actual weight loaded and the actual cbm....... there might be a ton of space left. or maybe none. worth finding out!

I guess concrete mixers will be disassembled and packed into wooden-frame crates maybe with wrap or cartons outside. Concrete mixers are normally not very heavy compared to their size so I think now your problem will be volume rather than weight.

Answer: 40'GP= 56-58CBM. AS the goods you load is big, so you could count CBM as 56CBM.  The supplier's qty.: 0.75*0.65*0.72*160=56.16CBM, just could fill 40' GP.

20' CONTAINER=27-32CBM. The goods are big, you just could use 27 CBM, so you could load 77 units.

40'HQ= 66-68CBM, You could load 188 units.

20ft inner dimension:5.69x2.13x2.18m 24-26m3

40fcl 11.8x2.13x2.18m  54m3

40h   11.8x2.13x2.72m  68m3

the total volume of 20 feet is 28cbm so measures are= 0.75*.65*.72*80pcs

same you can calculate for 40feetfor56cbm

Hi sir,

My company ALPRODEX will help you.

Volume of mixer is:0.75x0.65x0.72M= 0.351M3 per pices/unit.

Volume 20ft container is:32M3 :0.351 = 91 units (max 28.5 tons payload)

Volueme:40ft container is:66M3: 0.351 =188 units (max26.5tons payload)

Volume 40ft HC is:76M3 :0.351= 216 units (max 26tons payload) 

Best regards and good luck,

Richard Jadoenath
