KIDS RIDE-ON TOYS WHOLESALEORDER PLANNING
Start with the carton.
Estimate full-carton quantities and reference volume before requesting a packing proposal.
Make space part of the decision.
Order units are rounded up to full cartons. The estimate uses source quotation packing values, which must be checked against your approved configuration.
What this number does not include
Pallets, stacking limits, loading gaps, weight limits, freight charges or handling requirements. It is not a container-capacity guarantee.
Before booking
Confirm measured cartons, gross weight, battery details where applicable, and the loading arrangement with your supplier and forwarder.

Turning CBM into a loading plan
The planner produces reference carton volume, which is the right number for comparing platforms and budgeting freight — but reference volume is not a loading certificate.
Nominal container capacity
Industry references put a 20ft container around 28 m³ and a 40HQ around 68 m³ of internal volume. Ride-on cartons are bulky and irregularly stacked, so usable capacity sits below the nominal figure.
What eats the gap
Pallets, protective gaps, orientation, stacking limits, weight distribution and mixing different carton sizes all reduce the count. So does any platform that cannot be stacked more than a few high.
The document to trust
Before booking, ask for a physical loading proposal based on measured production cartons and confirm it with the forwarder. Never promise a container quantity from nominal arithmetic alone.
BUYER QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
What does CBM mean?
CBM is cubic metre, the standard volume unit in ocean freight. For one carton it is length × width × height in centimetres divided by 1,000,000. Total reference CBM for an order is that figure multiplied by the number of master cartons.
Why does the planner round my quantity up?
Because models ship in full master cartons. If a platform is packed one unit per carton, 100 units means 100 cartons; if a future configuration packs multiple units, the planner rounds your request up to the next complete carton and shows how many extra units that adds.
Does the CBM estimate include pallets or loading gaps?
No. It is pure carton reference volume from the quotation snapshot. Pallets, stacking limits, orientation, gaps and weight distribution are handled in a physical loading proposal with measured production cartons.
How do batteries change the shipping calculation?
Battery chemistry affects documentation and sometimes packing and stowage, not just volume. Identify the actual battery configuration before discussing routing, and let the forwarder advise on the evidence and packing instructions that apply.
Where do the packing numbers come from?
From the supplier quotation snapshot mapped to each platform. They are planning references until the approved production pack is measured, at which point final dimensions and gross weight are reconfirmed before freight booking.
