VOLUMETRIC WEIGHT CALCULATOR

Weight/Mass vs Volume Weight


So you know the length, width, height and chargeable weight of your load, and you’ve just calculated the cubic metres, but now you’re wondering what the volumetric weight is?

Formula

Road Transport in South Africa:
L X W X H divided by 4000 = Volumetric Weight *

Road Transport into Africa:
L X W X H divided by 2000 = Volumetric Weight *

Airfreight Worldwide:
L X W X H divided by 5000 = Volumetric Weight *

* where L, W & H must be in centimetres
Example

Road Transport in South Africa:
(100cm x 100cm x 100cm) ÷ 4000 = 250 kg

Road Transport into Africa:
(100cm x 100cm x 100cm) ÷ 2000 = 500 kg

Airfreight:
(100cm x 100cm x 100cm) ÷ 5000 = 200 kg
