How many cubic meters of timber fits into a 20 footer container?

Answer 1

The dimensions of a standard 20' General Purpose container are:

Length: 5.919m

Width: 2.340m

Height: 2.380m

To calculate the volume in cbm multiply the length x width x height:

5.919 x 2.340 x 2.380 = 32.96cbm

Practically though, the usual maximum loading volume is around 28cbm, depending on the size of the cartons you are sticking in it. You can hardly ever pack it right to the edge and the top.

For a 40'GP:-

Length: 12.051m

Width: 2.340m

Height: 2.380m

12.051 x 2.340 x 2.380 = 67.11cbm

The same applies when loading as with a 20', drop roughly 5cbm to be safe with your capacity if you are planning a shipment.

Answer 2

In order to solve this problem, you must determine the lengths of all the sides of this container. If the container is 20 feet high, then find the width and length. Convert each side length from feet to meters, and then multiple the three sides together. The product is your answer in cubic meters.

Answer 3

A square 20-foot container (cube) has a volume of 226.53 cubic meters.

Answer 4

None. Cubic meters is an area, which requires two dimensions. 20 feet has only one dimension, so it has no area.

Answer 5

In order to determine the cubic feet, you will have to know the 3-dimensions of the container. If it is 20' x 20' x 20', then the cubic feet would be 8000 cubic feet.

Answer 6

That depends which of its dimensions is 20 feet.

Answer 7

A standard 20 ft container is 1,600 cubic ft.

Answer 8

divide by square root of 20 ft :)

Answer 9

26 cubic metres
