1,670kg (vol)

That's about the same as a delivery van. That is roughly 8.333 europallets of cargo.

What it means

How much space is that?

Container figures are usable internal volume, not the nominal size. Real loading rarely exceeds 85% of it once pallets and packaging are counted.

The math

How to convert CBM to kg (vol)
