The Weight Limit Game

Stone is dense. A 20ft container will hit its weight limit (usually 27,000 kg for heavy-rated) long before it is full of volume. Understanding this is key to profitability.

Capacity Rules of Thumb

  • 2cm Granite: Approx. 400-450 sqm per container.
  • 3cm Granite: Approx. 280-300 sqm per container.
  • Sandstone (22mm): Approx. 350-380 sqm per container.

At Ruvello, we use advanced load-planning software to mix slab thicknesses, ensuring you get the maximum square footage per dollar of ocean freight. We don't ship air.
