The 40HQ Container Capacity
A standard 40-foot High Cube (40HQ) shipping container has a maximum internal volume of approximately 76 Cubic Meters (CBM). However, due to the realities of carton dimensions and loading inefficiencies, the usable volume is usually calculated at around 68 CBM.
Estimating Your Load
Because sofa in a box (vacuum compressed)s are packed in highly standardized, rectangular cartons, we can utilize container space with exceptional efficiency. Here are typical loading capacities based on our most popular OEM models:
- Compact 2-Seater / Loveseat: Carton size is approx 0.15 CBM. You can load ~450 Sets per 40HQ.
- Standard 3-Seater Sofa: Carton size is approx 0.25 CBM. You can load ~270 Sets per 40HQ.
- Large Modular Sectional: Carton size is approx 0.35 CBM. You can load ~190 Sets per 40HQ.
- Accent Leisure Chairs: Carton size is approx 0.1 CBM. You can load ~680 Sets per 40HQ.
*Note: These are estimates. Exact loadability depends on the final approved carton dimensions of your specific custom OEM design. Contact our sales team for a precise loading plan.
