Information on freight taxable weight.

Freight comes in different shapes and sizes: large and light, small and heavy. To calculate the space in a vehicle taken up by the freight, the taxable weight of the freight is calculated. The transport cost is calculated based on this.

The taxable weight of freight is calculated using both the actual weight and the volume. The largest figure is used to determine the transportation cost.

1 m3 = 333 kg

1LDM (loading meter) = 1850 kg

1 Epll (1.2 m x 0.8 m) = 740 kg

1 fin pallet = 1.20 m x 1.00 m = 700 kg = 0.5 ldm, Weight 800 kg
