Interior 589.8 × 235.2 × 269.8 cm; door 234 × 258.5 cm. The examples below use this exact application profile.
Plan a load in this containerDimensions and planning limits
- Internal length × width × height

This profile offers a different height envelope from the short standard dry profile. Its floor footprint and door opening remain separate constraints.

Pallet floor-grid examples
Single floor layer with bare pallet dimensions, zero clearances and unknown mass. Compare the uniform grid with a validated floor example that may combine two orientations. Neither result proves the global optimum or practical loaded-pallet capacity.
| Pallet footprint | Length × width × height (cm) | One floor layer | Validated floor example |
|---|---|---|---|
| EUR pallets · 120 × 80 cm | 120 × 80 × 14.4 | 8 | 11 |
| Industrial pallets · 120 × 100 cm | 120 × 100 × 15 | 8 | 9 |
| US pallets · 48 × 40 in | 121.92 × 101.6 × 15 | 8 | 9 |
Stackable carton-grid examples
Each row uses one box size throughout the vehicle, horizontal rotation and permitted stacking. A different cargo mix, handling gap or stacking restriction can change the result.
| Uniform box | Length × width × height (cm) | Stackable grid count | Outside box volume (m³) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 60 × 40 × 40 cm cartons | 60 × 40 × 40 | 270 | 25.92 |
| 40 × 30 × 30 cm cartons | 40 × 30 × 30 | 784 | 28.224 |
| 50 × 40 × 40 cm cartons | 50 × 40 × 40 | 336 | 26.88 |
| 120 × 80 × 100 cm crates | 120 × 80 × 100 | 16 | 15.36 |
Outside box volume sums the illustrated boxes. It does not establish freight charge, packing efficiency or mass compliance.
Profile sources and assumptions
Example reference profile; actual equipment can differ. Catalogue sources checked .
- Neptune Pacific · 20 Foot High Cube (catalogue check: )
Values and examples use the same catalogue profile as the planner. Planning payload is an application limit, not a route-specific permitted payload. Confirm the actual equipment and carrier requirements.
How the static examples are calculated
One vehicle, one uniform item size per example, horizontal rotation, and the stored door opening. Pallets use one floor layer; box examples permit stacking. Item mass is unknown, so payload, axle load, top-load and securing checks are not evaluated.
Wall, ceiling and door clearances are 0 cm, 0 cm and 0 cm; the profile gap is 0 cm. Uniform examples compare rectangular grids. The additional pallet floor example also tests two longitudinal lanes with different orientations and validates every position. Neither construction proves the best possible arrangement. The model is capped at 2,500 units; a reached cap is labelled in the table.
Questions about this calculation
What does this reference profile represent?
It is an example from the source listed below, not a statement that every high cube has identical dimensions or payload.
Does more height always add another box layer?
Only where the selected box height, permitted orientation, door access and stacking rules allow it. The example table shows the engine’s result for each input size.
