Each visual is an editable standalone SVG with crawlable labels. The same SVG is rendered inline on its source page, where the calculation context, limitations, and dated sources are available.
Freight density and class relationship
The post-July-2025 13-sub scale maps increasing pounds per cubic foot to lower density-based class numbers, including the added class 55 and class 50 bands.
How freight density is measured
Measure the greatest outside packaged length, width, and height, including the pallet, wrap, overhang, and projections, before dividing gross weight by cubic feet.
Actual, dimensional, and billable weight comparison
For the same 20 x 15 x 10 inch box, raw DIM weight is 21.58 lb using divisor 139: a 30 lb actual weight bills at 30 lb, while a 10 lb actual weight bills at the rule-rounded 22 lb DIM weight.
Shipping girth measurement
For a 30 x 20 x 10 inch box, girth wraps the two shorter dimensions and equals 60 inches, producing 90 inches for length plus girth.
TI-HI pallet patterns on a 48 by 40 inch deck
Four common top-down arrangements show how TI can change with orientation and interlock, while the side elevation shows HI and total load height above a 48 x 40 inch deck.
Standard pallet footprint comparison
Relative-scale outlines compare five common pallet footprints with both imperial and metric labels; pallet height and capacity are model-specific and are not inferred here.
20 foot, 40 foot, and 40 foot high cube container dimensions
Published fleet examples show the same 12032 mm internal length for 40 foot dry and high cube equipment, with internal height increasing from 2395 to 2700 mm in the high cube.
53 foot dry van pallet positions
The 636 x 101.5 inch dry-van reference fits 26 standard 48 x 40 inch pallet positions as two across by 13 rows; turned orientation is a dimensional alternative that still requires operational review.
LTL linear feet occupancy
Two handling units can share one trailer row when their combined cross-trailer width fits, so floor length is based on planned rows rather than the sum of every unit length.
CBM and ocean freight revenue ton comparison
Under the common W/M comparison, one cubic meter equals one measurement revenue ton and 1000 kg equals one weight revenue ton; the larger basis governs.
