In the logistics sector, the freight weight is among the most important issues. In all fields where transport and commercial forwarding are involved, the freight weight is calculated in terms of volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volume Calculation in Partial Transportation Measurement Calculation by the Transport Type: The volume value of the partial freight is calculated as width x length x height x quantity. We can explain it as follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example: Example: Road transport dimension calculation In this example, since the tonnage level is below 333 kg, the dimension calculation value is 1.2 m\u00b3. If the tonnage level in the example was \u2265 334 kg, the measure calculation value would be 2 m\u00b3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just like on the road transportation, the measurement in cubic meters can be calculated using this method in other transportation types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the basic issues, which is necessary to be known about logistics dimensional calculation in transportation, is the measurement units used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Measurement Units Square Measures Weight Calculation Volume Dimensions Container Dimensions in Logistics 20 \u2032 \/ 40 \u2032 Standard Container Dimension Calculation for 20′ Standard Dimension Calculation for 40′ Standard 20 \u2032 \/ 40 \u2032 Open Top Container Dimension Calculation for 20′ Open Top Dimension Calculation for 40 ‘Open Top 20 \u2032 \/ 40 \u2032 Dimension Calculation for 20′ Flat Rack Dimension Calculation for 40 ‘Flat Rack 40\/45\u2032 High Cube Container Dimension Calculation for High Cube of 40 Dimension Calculation for 45\u2019 High Cube 20 \u2032 \/ 40 \u2032 High Cube Reefer Container Dimension Calculation for 20 ‘High Cube Reefer Dimension Calculation for High Cube Reefer of 40 In the logistics sector, the freight weight is among the most important issues.

<\/strong>One of the significant issues in container size calculation in the transportation and forwarding industry is the freight capacity of containers. Since products are loaded into vehicles in containers even if the type of transportation varies, dimensions may also differ because of various container types. Containers vary by types, purposes and sizes of the transport. The internal size and weight of the container type may vary according to standards of companies. In addition, elements such as the laws and rules applicable in the transportation sector, crane capacities in the ports or terminals can also be determinant on the capacities of the containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>While these types of containers are frequently defined as \u201cgeneral-purpose\u201d, these types of containers in the trading area are called \u201cdry van\u201d or \u201cstandard\u201d. While thread dimensions of standard containers are fixed, their heights can vary. These containers have two doors, only one of which opens outwards. When the container\u2019s door is closed, water and air cannot enter into. As well as it is mostly made of steel and aluminium, the loading capacity of these containers is less since steel is a heavy material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>These types of containers have the length and width of general-purpose containers, however, these containers have no \u201chard-top\u201d. In short, they are open-top containers. Massive loads which can not be loaded into containers through its door can be loaded from the top with vehicles similar to cranes. Machinery, wide plates, panels and profiles are frequently transported in this way. When these containers are used, the vehicle is covered with a canvas after the loading process. Since they usually carry heavy loads, the base of these vehicles is thicker and they are classified as special equipment, so additional costs are added to the freightage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>This type of container is briefly defined as \u201cflat\u201d. Closable containers do not have two sides and no top. Sometimes both heads of the container can be removed. These containers are suitable for loading products with both sides and higher than container\u2019s height. Since the base of these is thick like open-top containers, additional costs may be added to the freightage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>While these type of containers are called \u201crefrigerated container\u201d, it is used for transporting other loads that require refrigeration, notably food products. It was developed for the service type called reefer transportation and these containers provide controlled cold transportation of products with cooling units operated by electric or diesel engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
