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
