This calculator helps importers, exporters, and suppliers quickly estimate safe granite load quantities for containers or trucks, minimizing risk and optimizing transport costs.
This calculator is designed specifically for granite container loads but can also be adapted for marble, quartz, or other stones. It works by calculating the total weight of slabs, tiles, or blocks and comparing it with the maximum payload capacity of shipping containers or trucks.
Weight = Length × Width × Thickness × DensityAvailable Payload = Max Payload − Packaging Weight
By default, granite density values are preloaded because they vary depending on the type of granite:
For accuracy, all slab/tile sizes are entered in centimeters (cm). If you have measurements in meters, feet, inches, or millimeters, use our built-in unit converter tool to quickly convert them into cm before calculation.
The calculator is preloaded with industry-standard limits:
Since packaging (wooden crates, spacers, etc.) adds extra load, the packaging weight is always editable. The tool automatically recalculates:
Available Payload = Max Payload − Packaging Weight
For example, if a 20ft container has a max payload of 27.8 tons and you enter 0.8 tons as packaging, the available payload reduces to 27 tons.
In some regions, trucking regulations may allow only a reduced payload. For example, if the actual limit is 19.50 tons including packaging, you can manually override the available payload to reflect local law or port restrictions.
This way, the calculator not only tells you how many granite slabs fit in a 20ft or 40ft container, but also adapts to custom truckloads, packaging variations, and legal restrictions.
This powerful online tool isn’t limited to granite! You can use our Granite Shipping Container and Truck Capacity Calculator for any type of stone slab, tile, or block. Simply enter the size and either the material’s density or its weight per square foot. That’s all you need to get accurate results—even for marble, quartz, porcelain, and more.
Don’t know your stone’s density? No worries! Try our Density Calculator. Just select from 10 popular materials or enter your own value.
Quick Tip: With these density values, you can quickly calculate stone load and number of slabs for all popular natural and engineered stones.
With this granite shipping calculator, you can accurately estimate how many slabs, tiles, or stone blocks will safely fit into any standard container or truck. It calculates based on dimensions, density, weight per square foot, and packaging methods—giving you fast and reliable stone load estimates for export and transport.
