FREE LOADING CALCULATOR
Free 40HQ / 40HC Container Loading Calculator
How many boxes fit in a 40HQ (40HC)? Enter one box size and quantity to estimate capacity and compare 20FT, 40FT and 40HC containers. No sign-in needed.
Size comparison · uniform-grid estimate
Estimated boxes per container: —
One direction per estimate; actual BASIC layouts can fit a different quantity.
No supported container fits a box under these orientation settings. Check the dimensions or allowed orientations.
Enter positive dimensions and quantity.
Dimension-only estimate. Weight, stability, margins, gaps and handling constraints are not included.

One selected container. The figures above use this same layout. Weight and handling safety require separate checks.

The loaded count, remaining count and utilization use the selected container's BASIC layout below. Utilization is loaded box volume divided by that container's internal volume. Only size and allowed orientations are used, not a risk assessment.
We compare 20FT, 40FT and 40HQ (40HC), repeating one type. The fewest containers comes first, then the least total unused volume, then the smaller container. This is not a mixed-container or freight-cost optimization.
Example: 500 × 500 × 500 mm boxes, quantity 100 → estimated 40HQ capacity 480, included 100, remaining 0 and space utilization 16.4%.
An order of 600 boxes: will one container do?
Try 500 × 500 × 500 mm boxes with quantity 600, floor rotation on and laydown off. The 40HQ grid estimate fits 480 and leaves 120 out. The size comparison suggests two 40FT containers for the full order. That is a size-only estimate, not a freight quote or a confirmed loading plan.
