The Truck Load Weight for a Rectangular Container calculator computes weight 
Rectangular Container }} of a load in a rectangular truck container. The container's volume is defined by the dimensions (length, width, height) of the container. The weight is calculated by multiplying the volume by a mean density.
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:
- (l) The container length
- (w) The container width (w)
- (h) The container height (h). For the total potential weight of a load, use the full height of the container. For a specific load, enter the depth of the load.
- (mD) The mean density (mD) of the contents. If you do not know the mean density (weight per cubic volume), click CLICK HERE for a quick look-up of over 500 common materials and substances. For example, the mean density of bituminous coal is 793 kg/m3.CONTAINER SHAPES
