Know Your Maximum Cargo Capacity Before You Book the Shipment.
Hansatic shows you exactly how much cargo fits in any container or trailer — volume, weight, and 3D arrangement — before you commit to a booking. No overweight surprises at the port. No re-packing after the truck is already loaded.
Check Capacity FreeHow the Shipment Capacity Planner Works
Select your container or trailer
Choose the container type (20DC, 40DC, 40HC, 53ft) or trailer type (curtainsider, flatbed, mega, dry van). Internal dimensions, tare weight, and maximum payload load automatically — you see the capacity envelope immediately.
Add your cargo
Enter item dimensions, weights, and quantities. Hansatic calculates how much of the available volume and weight capacity your cargo consumes in real time. You see both CBM utilization and weight utilization as separate live indicators.
See where the limit is
The planner shows you whether you hit the weight limit or the volume limit first — they're rarely the same. Dense cargo hits the weight limit with space to spare. Bulky cargo fills the volume before reaching the weight limit. Knowing which constraint binds changes how you negotiate rates and split shipments.
Adjust and optimize
If you're over the limit, remove items or switch to a larger container and re-check. If you're well under, you may be able to consolidate into a smaller container and save on freight. Hansatic recalculates instantly every time you change the cargo or container type.
