CARGO
U.S. container capacity calculator
Compare cargo cubic feet and pounds with common 20-ft, 40-ft and 40-ft high-cube planning capacities.
⚠️ Important
Planning aid only. Always verify state and federal rules, permits, vehicle/tire ratings, route restrictions, carrier tariffs and certified scale weights when they apply.
Why both cube and payload matter
- A container can be limited by volume, payload, door dimensions, floor loading or cargo geometry.
- The preset capacities are planning references; the specific container’s CSC plate and actual internal / door dimensions control.
- Passing the total ft³ and payload checks does not guarantee that individual pieces can be physically stuffed.
Important: Use the actual equipment specification when available.
