Supported Shipping Containers & Pallet Specifications

Standard dimensions, volume limits, max payloads, and technical data for 20GP, 40GP, 40HQ, 45HQ, and standard industrial pallets in CargoPack 3D.

Comprehensive Database of Global Maritime Shipping Containers

CargoPack 3D comes pre-loaded with official ISO 668 dimensions for global ocean containers, domestic freight trailers, and standard logistics pallets. In addition to nominal exterior dimensions, our system accurately accounts for interior corrugation indentations, door frame overhead bars, corner casting intrusions, and floor load rating limits.

Note on Usable Volume vs. Theoretical Volume:
In real-world packing without software optimization, workers typically fit only 28 CBM in a 20GP and 65 CBM in a 40HQ. With CargoPack 3D, shippers routinely reach 31.5 CBM in a 20GP and 72.5+ CBM in a 40HQ, often eliminating 1 out of every 7 containers ordered.
