With these values the results are: | Total weight | 20,000 kg | | Center of gravity (from front wall) | 5.61 m | | Offset from center | -0.41 m | | Assessment | Balanced: offset within 5% of container length | ### How to use: Container Weight Distribution - Enter your own values: Container type. - Add or delete table rows as needed; totals update automatically. - Results are calculated as you type: Total weight, Center of gravity (from front wall), Offset from center, Assessment. - Check every step of the calculation in the formulas below. ## How is it calculated? - **Mom** (each row) = [Weight (kg)] × [Position (m)] - **Total weight** = [Σ Weight (kg)] - **Center of gravity (from front wall)** = [Σ Mom] ÷ [Σ Weight (kg)] - **Offset from center** = [Center of gravity (from front wall)] − [Container internal length] ÷ 2 ## Other tools running on Cargo Fit Engine Finds the best arrangement and utilization rate from carton, pallet and container dimensions under volume and weight limits. - [CBM Calculator](https://demo.fcrsoft.com/en/container/cbm-calculator) - [Container Utilization Calculator](https://demo.fcrsoft.com/en/container/container-utilization) - [20ft Container Calculator](https://demo.fcrsoft.com/en/container/20ft-container-calculator) - [40ft Container Calculator](https://demo.fcrsoft.com/en/container/40ft-container-calculator) - [40HC Container Calculator](https://demo.fcrsoft.com/en/container/40hc-container-calculator) - [How Many Pallets Fit in a Container?](https://demo.fcrsoft.com/en/container/pallets-in-container) - [How Many Cartons Fit in a Container?](https://demo.fcrsoft.com/en/container/cartons-in-container) - [How Many Tons Can a Container Carry?](https://demo.fcrsoft.com/en/container/container-weight-capacity) - [Container Loading Calculator](https://demo.fcrsoft.com/en/container/container-loading-calculator) - [3D Container Loading](https://demo.fcrsoft.com/en/container/3d-container-loading) - [Pallet Calculator](https://demo.fcrsoft.com/en/container/pallet-calculator) - [Cartons to Pallets](https://demo.fcrsoft.com/en/container/carton-to-pallet) FCRSOFT ## FCRSOFT does this for you automatically You don’t need to do the calculations and checks on this page by hand every day.

Calculate the container’s center of gravity and offset from the middle from load block weights and positions; spot unbalanced loading in advance. The calculation uses Cargo Fit Engine: Finds the best arrangement and utilization rate from carton, pallet and container dimensions under volume and weight limits. How is Center of gravity (from front wall) found? Center of gravity (from front wall) = [Σ Mom] ÷ [Σ Weight (kg)]. With the example values (Container type 40' GP) the result is 5.61 m. How is Offset from center found? Offset from center = [Center of gravity (from front wall)] − [Container internal length] ÷ 2. With the example values (Container type 40' GP) the result is -0.41 m. Worked example: Container Weight Distribution Example values: Container type 40' GP. Total weight: 20,000 kg; Center of gravity (from front wall): 5.61 m; Offset from center: -0.41 m; Assessment: Balanced: offset within 5% of container length. Is Container Weight Distribution free? Yes. The tool is free, needs no sign-up and runs in your browser; the data you enter is not stored. Can FCRSOFT do this calculation automatically? FCRSOFT tracks volume, weight and utilization per container for every booking. You can try the Forwarder & Logistics package in the live demo without installing anything. ## Related tools and guides [Free tool ### How Many Tons Can a Container Carry?
