Consider a scenario where you have a shipment with the following dimensions: Length: 60 inches, Width: 45 inches, and Height: 35 inches (which includes a 7-inch pallet height). To calculate its volume, multiply these dimensions (Length X Width X Height), resulting in 94,500 cubic inches. Convert this to cubic feet by dividing by 1,728, giving you approximately 54.7 cubic feet. The density of your shipment is then determined by its weight in relation to its volume. For example, if your cargo weighs 150 pounds (120 lbs for the cargo and around 30 lbs for the pallet), the density would be approximately 2.74 pounds per cubic foot. This calculator plays a vital role in optimizing your shipping strategies and cost management.
