Container planning is arithmetic, not opinion. Two numbers decide everything — carton CBM and carton gross weight — and in this range both are fixed across the platform.
Every model in this range packs 10 pieces to a carton. Eighteen of the 24 shells use a 69 x 32 x 64 cm carton at 0.141 CBM; six — V1566, V1911 and the V1567-V1570 series — use 70 x 30 x 66 cm at 0.139 CBM. Gross weight runs 20 kg to 23 kg depending on the shell.
Container capacity is therefore a volume question, not a weight question: 460 cartons at 20.5 kg is around 9.4 tonnes, comfortably under any road or terminal limit. You will run out of cubic metres long before you run out of payload.
| Container | Internal volume | Cartons at 0.141 CBM | Cartons at 0.139 CBM | Pieces |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20GP | ≈ 33 CBM | ≈ 190 | ≈ 192 | ≈ 1,900 |
| 40GP | ≈ 67 CBM | ≈ 395 | ≈ 400 | ≈ 3,950 |
| 40HQ | ≈ 76 CBM | ≈ 460 | ≈ 465 | ≈ 4,600 |
The theoretical maximum is higher than these numbers because cartons never fill a container perfectly: corrugation, pallet decisions and the door gap all consume space. The figures above are the practical loads we actually ship, which is why the quote sheet says 4,600 rather than 5,000.
This is the single most useful fact for a first order. Because all 24 shells share one of two carton formats, a mixed container is arithmetically identical to a single-model container:
What the arithmetic does not cover is coordination — three production schedules, one payment and one set of documents that have to arrive together. That part is on mixed container kids scooters.
| Order | Cartons | CBM | Pieces | Share of 40HQ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One model, 4,600 pcs | 460 | 64.9 | 4,600 | 100% |
| Six models, 700 pcs each | 420 | 59.3 | 4,200 | 91% |
| Twelve models, 350 pcs each | 420 | 59.3 | 4,200 | 91% |
| Four models, 200 pcs each | 80 | 11.3 | 800 | 17% |
Twelve models at 350 pieces give you the same carton count as six models at 700 — the mix changes the SKU count, not the space. What it does change is packing time and the count check, which is why mixed loads need a photographed carton row per model.
Scooter cartons load floor-loaded to maximise the count. Palletising costs roughly 8-10% of capacity and is worth it only if your warehouse cannot handle loose cartons or if your customer requires it. The pallets you see in our loading photos are for internal movement between warehouse and truck, not for the container.
Run the numbers on real models: V6333 at 0.141 CBM, V1566 at 0.139 CBM, V3011 at 0.141 — the full list with carton sizes is on the packing data page.
Straight answers to what buyers ask before the first order.
About 4,600 pieces — 460 cartons at 0.141 CBM or 465 at 0.139 CBM, at 10 pieces per carton.
About 1,900 pieces, roughly 190 cartons. It is the right size for a first order that does not want a full 40HQ.
No. All 24 shells use one of two carton formats at 0.139-0.141 CBM, so a mixed load fills the same space as a single-model load.
Floor-loaded to maximise the count. Palletising costs roughly 8-10% of capacity and only makes sense if your warehouse cannot handle loose cartons.
10 pieces per carton, gross 20 kg to 23 kg depending on the shell — so a full container is around 9 to 10.5 tonnes, well within payload limits.
