20GP, 40GP and 40HQ are the three most commonly used containers.

1) The size of 20GP is: 20 feet long x 8 feet wide x 8.5 feet high, referred to as 20 feet general cabinet

2) The size of 40GP is: 40 feet long x 8 feet wide x 8.5 feet high, referred to as 40 feet general cabinet

3) The dimensions of 40HQ are: 40 feet long x 8 feet wide x 9.5 feet high, referred to as 40 feet high cabinet

Conversion method of unit of length:

1 inch = 2.54 cm

1 foot =12 inches =12*2.54=30.48cm

Calculation of the length, width and height of containers:

1) Width: 8 feet =8*30.48cm= 2.438m

2) Height of general cabinet: 8 feet 6 inches =8.5 feet= 8.5 * 30.48 cm = 2.59m

3) Height of the cabinet: 9 feet 6 inches = 9.5 feet=9.5*30.48cm=2.89m

4) Cabinet length: 20 feet =20*30.48cm= 6.096m

5) Large cabinet length: 40 feet =40*30.48cm= 12.192m

Container volume (CBM) calculation of containers:

1) Volume of 20GP = length * width * height =6.096*2.438*2.59 m≈38.5CBM, the actual cargo can be about 30 cubic meters

2) Volume of 40GP = length * width * height =12.192*2.438*2.59 m≈77CBM, the actual cargo can be about 65 cubic meters

3) Volume of 40HQ = length * width * height =12.192 * 2.38 * 2.89 m≈86CBM, actual loadable goods about 75 cubic meters

What is the size and volume of 45HQ?

Length =45 feet =45*30.48cm=13.716m

Width =8 feet =8 x 30.48cm=2.438m

Height = 9 feet 6 inches = 9.5 feet = 9.5* 30.48cm = 2.89m

45HQ box volume two length * width*=13.716*2.438*2.89≈96CBM, the actual loadable goods are about 85 cubic meters
