How Many Large cartons Fit in a 45ft High-Cube Container?
726 large cartons (60 × 40 × 40 cm, 15 kg each) fit in a 45ft High-Cube Container.
121 large cartons on the floor: 4 straight lanes of 22 plus 1 turned lane of 33. Stacked 6 layers high (40 cm each under a 269 cm ceiling), that is 726 by space. The 25,600 kg payload would allow 1,706, so space — not weight — is the binding limit.
