Cubic metres (CBM)
For each group: length × width × height in metres × package count. Add all group volumes. Centimetres divide by 100, millimetres by 1,000; one inch equals 0.0254 metres.

Measure the load.
Plan the next move.
Turn packed dimensions into cubic metres, gross weight and a product footprint. Prepare a clearer transport or warehouse enquiry, one package group at a time.

Calculate your packed cargo.
Use final packed measurements. Add a separate group for each package size. Weight is optional; dimensions and package count are required.

Product footprint only
Product footprint is not bookable warehouse area. Allow for access, handling, clearances and the actual layout with the warehouse team. Volume alone does not confirm vehicle fit or permitted payload.

The method, with an example.
Gross weight
Weight per packed unit in kilograms × package count, summed across groups. If a weight is missing, the result marks the weight as incomplete instead of inventing a value.
Product footprint
For each group, round package count ÷ confirmed stack layers up to a whole number, then multiply by the packed base area. Groups are calculated separately and are not stacked together.
A worked example: 10 identical cartons
Each carton measures 50 × 40 × 30 cm and weighs 12 kg. Packed volume is 10 × 0.5 × 0.4 × 0.3 = 0.6 m³. Total gross weight is 120 kg.
With 2 confirmed stack layers, five base positions occupy 5 × 0.5 × 0.4 = 1 m² of product footprint. With one layer, the footprint is 2 m². Neither figure includes access or working space.
Measurements are the starting point.
Prepare a package list with dimensions, gross weight, packing type and any handling restriction. Include the heaviest individual piece, not only the total. An enclosing box measurement can overstate the physical material volume of an irregular item, but it helps explain the space it needs.
For transport
Check body dimensions, door openings, permitted payload, load restraint, site access and loading equipment. Compare full truck load with part truck load after sharing the same package list.
For warehousing
Share storage duration, receipt quantities, dispatch frequency, stacking restrictions and inventory requirements. The team confirms warehouse arrangements and usable layout separately.

Cargo measurement questions.
Does CBM tell me the freight price?
No. CBM is a measurement of packed volume. The charging unit, minimum charge, handling, route and vehicle or shared service must be confirmed in the written quotation. No courier divisor or freight tariff is assumed here.
Is product footprint the warehouse area I should book?
No. It is the base area occupied by the entered packages using the stacking layers you specify. Access aisles, handling, clearances, columns, racks and the actual layout require extra consideration by the warehouse team.
How do I measure pallets or irregular goods?
Use the outside dimensions of the complete packed unit, including the pallet and any overhang. For an irregular item, use its enclosing length, width and height and explain the shape and handling restrictions to the team.
Are my measurements sent when I calculate?
No. Calculation runs in this browser. The enquiry buttons transfer your summary within this tab to the quote form; you decide whether to share the enquiry by email or WhatsApp.
