How is Partial Load Calculated?

In the transportation sector, the volume of the transported cargo is also very important along with its weight. Calculations in partial transportation, which is included in road transportation, are made using cubic meters, weight and lademeter (Loadmeter – Ldm) calculation criteria.

m3 calculation of partial load; It is QUANTITY x  WIDTH x LENGTH x HEIGHT  .

1 m3 = 333 kg evolves.
1 ton = 3 m3 evolves.
1 ldm = 1750 kg.
