Will your frame fit a container?

The freight cost of a heavy weldment steps sharply the moment it leaves the container envelope. Enter your dimensions and find out which side of that line you are on, before you freeze the design.

Your piece

Use the packed envelope, including any cradle, projecting lugs and pipework. Those are what the carrier measures.

These are planning values. Actual internal dimensions and payload vary by operator and by individual unit, confirm with your forwarder before committing a design. Oureditorial standards page explains how we handle figures like these.
