B2B slab planning tool
Sintered Stone Weight Calculator
Compare factory slab, pallet and gross-weight references for both 20GP and 40HQ sintered stone container loading plans.
Live factory loading comparison
The model on the right updates automatically as you change slab quantity, A-frames, and container size.
Enter finished dimensions in millimetres. Weight uses a 2,140 kg/m³ reference density unless the input matches a documented factory slab. Pallet and 20GP/40HQ values are calculated from the closest documented packing configuration, packed-thickness capacity and pallet gross limit.
Packing weight is an early estimate, not a final packing design.

Factory data method
How the factory-reference calculation works
The calculator looks up the documented slab weight and packing configuration for the selected size and thickness. It does not extrapolate unsupported combinations from a universal density.
Order weight calculation
Net slab weight uses the factory weight listed for the exact size and thickness. Packing units are rounded up to complete pallets.
Documented slab weight × quantity = Net slab weight
Factory gross weight per pallet, pallet count, frame tare and container layout are taken from the same packing record.
Worked example: 1600 × 3200 × 12 mm
The factory reference weight is 134 kg per slab.
26 slabs × 134 kg = 3,484 kg net slab weight
134 kg net per slab
The 11 Steel A-Frame configuration is 26 slabs per pallet, 95 kg frame tare and approximately 3,600 kg documented gross weight per pallet.
Factory reference basis
Only documented size and thickness combinations are available for calculation.
Net material weight
The weight of the sintered stone only. It excludes A-frames, spacers, protective material, straps, accessories, and the container tare weight.
Estimated cargo gross weight
Net slab weight plus the selected packing estimate. It is not the certified gross mass or final carrier-approved payload.
Reading your result
How to interpret the 20GP and 40HQ figures
The cards above reproduce the selected factory packing record. Use the four points below to understand what each value covers before requesting a shipment review.
01Maximum slabsThe documented slabs per pallet multiplied by the listed pallet count for that container.
02Pallet layoutA-frame, U-frame, wood crate and timber-support layouts are separate configurations and are not interchangeable.
03Gross weightThe factory gross reference includes the selected full packing units; it is not the container tare weight.
04Final shipment reviewVerified mass, carrier acceptance, route limits and destination unloading conditions can still change the approved load.
Container loading disclaimer: The calculator reproduces the factory document's packing layout. Final verified mass, carrier acceptance, route limits, loading method and destination rules must still be confirmed before shipment.

Sintered Stone Weight Calculator FAQ
Where do the slab weights used by this calculator come from?
Each value is taken from the factory packing reference for the exact slab size and thickness. Unsupported combinations are not estimated from a universal density.
What is the difference between net slab weight and cargo gross weight?
Net slab weight is the documented weight per slab multiplied by quantity. The factory full-pallet gross reference uses the PDF gross weight per pallet and does not reverse-calculate packing weight from slab density.
Does a 40ft container always carry more slabs than a 20ft container?
Not necessarily. A 40ft container has more physical space, but the usable payload may not increase in the same proportion. The cargo weight limit, A-frame layout, carrier rules, route, and inland transport restrictions can reduce the active loading quantity.
How are slabs per pallet and pallet quantity selected?
The calculator uses the documented packing option selected for that size and thickness, including slabs per pallet, factory gross weight per pallet and the listed 20ft GP or 40ft HQ pallet count.
Can different sizes, thicknesses, or colours share one container?
They may be combined, but a mixed load needs a specification-by-specification packing review. Different formats can change frame allocation, protection, centre of gravity, unloading sequence, and the usable slab count.
What information is required before a loading plan can be approved?
Provide slab size, thickness, finish, quantity, destination, packing requirement, and any mixed-load details. Final approval also depends on the actual packing design, verified weights, carrier acceptance, and destination transport rules.
