Instructions: How to Calculate Granite Slab & Block Capacity for Shipping Containers and Trucks

  • Select Your Transport Unit:
    • Choose whether you are loading a shipping container (20ft, 40ft, or custom) or a truck/trailer as your transport unit type.
  • Set Maximum Payload:
    • The calculator auto-fills the standard maximum payload for containers. For trucks or custom units, input the maximum allowable load capacity (in kg).
  • Select Packaging Method:
    • Pick your packaging type, such as A-frame, Palletizing, Wooden box packing, or Custom Packing. This accounts for packaging weight in total load calculation.
  • Input Packaging Weight:
    • Enter the estimated weight of packaging materials (usually auto-filled but adjustable for accuracy).
  • Enter Product Details:
    • For each granite item (slab, tile, block, or custom):
    • Input Length, Width, and Thickness (cm).
    • Either select granite Density (from common values or enter your own) or enter the Weight per Sq. Ft. for your selected thickness.
    • (Optional) Type in the quantity of each size.
  • Add Multiple Products/Sizes:
    • Click “+ Add Another Size” to enter details for more slab/block variations in the same shipment.
  • Review Available Payload:
    • The calculator displays the remaining payload capacity after subtracting packaging weight. You can adjust this value if needed.
  • Calculate & View Results:
    • Hit the “Calculate” button to see results including individual piece weight, maximum number of pieces per container or truck, total loaded weight, area, and volume.
    • If the entered quantity or load exceeds available payload, a warning message will appear.
  • Save or Share Results:
    • Save the summary for your records, logistics planning, or send to your supplier or shipping partner.

Expert Tips:

  • Always confirm transport unit payload limits before shipment.
  • Double-check granite sizes and thickness for accurate calculations.
  • Factor in extra packaging weight for international or long-distance shipments.
  • Use “custom” unit options for non-standard containers, trailers, or special shipping scenarios.

This calculator helps importers, exporters, and suppliers quickly estimate safe granite load quantities for containers or trucks, minimizing risk and optimizing transport costs.
