40' -	39'5" x 7'8" x 7'10" -	21.0 Ton -	56-28 CBM

U.S. highway weight restrictions for a container may vary from state-to-state. Check with the point/port of origin for more specific data on actual weight capacity.

As a general guideline, the following gross weight maximums should be adhered to in order to remain within the prescribed legal weight limits:

20' -	38,500 lbs (17,235 kgs)
40'/40' HQ -	43,500 lbs (19,730 kgs)
45' -	45,000 lbs (20,400 kgs)

Divide cubic inches by 1,728 and then by 35.32.
(inch x 2.54 = cm)
(cm x 0.39 = inch)

6,000 c. c. = 1 kg or 166 cu. in. = 1 lb

For international ocean shipment, 1 CBM is equivalent to 1,000 kg or 1 ton.
However, for US inland traffic, 1 CBM is just 800 pound.
