What Is a Container Load?
A container load refers to the amount of goods that can be loaded into a single shipping container. There are various sizes of containers available, from 20 feet to 40 feet, and the type of cargo being shipped will determine which size is needed.
A container load can also be referred to as a full container load (FCL) or less than container load (LCL), depending on whether the entire container is filled with one shipment or contains multiple shipments from different customers. LCL shipping allows for cost savings for clients who don’t want to pay for a full container and shipping companies who don’t have to pay for two trips.
How Much Weight Can a Container Hold?
The maximum weight that a container can hold depends on the type and size of the container, as well as regulations set by shipping authorities. Generally, a 20-foot container can hold up to 52,910 pounds or 24,000 kilograms, while a 40-foot container can hold up to 67,200 pounds or 30,480 kilograms.
The weight limit for a container is essential to ensure the safety of the cargo, as well as the shipping vessel. Our team at ADC Warehouse will carefully calculate and distribute weight within each container load to meet regulations and keep your goods safe during transit.
