FCL Stands for Full Container Load Cargo and is a term used to refer to shipments with a full container load . The most common container options for household goods and personal effects are 20’, 40’ and 40’ Hi Cube.
20’ Container The dimensions of a standard 20′ General Purpose container are as follows:- Length: 5.919m Width: 2.340m Height: 2.380m To calculate the volume in cbm you multiply them all together 5.919 x 2.340 x 2.380 = 32.96cbm Practically though the usual maximum loading volume is around 28 cbm, depending on the size of the cartons you are sticking in it. You can hardly ever pack it right to the edge and the top.
40’ Container A 40’ container can hold larger (3-4) bedroom household items. In addition to the above you can ship a second pair of couches, bed room set, large appliances, barbecue grill and an additional 50 – 75 boxes. The dimensions of a standard 40′ General Purpose container are as follows:- Length: 12.051m Width: 2.340m Height: 2.380m (12.051 x 2.340 x 2.380 = 67.11cbm) Same applies when loading as with a 20′, drop roughly 5 cbm to be safe with your capacity if you are planning a shipment.
40’ Hi Cube Container The length and width of a 40’ Hi Cube container are similar to a 40’ Standard but you get an extra 1 feet in height. This translates to an additional 8 CBM of loading volume.
