One container has three different volume figures. Gross volume comes from the outer dimensions and tells you how many containers stand side by side in a vehicle or a warehouse. Net volume comes from the inner dimensions, and the catalogue litre figure is close to it. Usable volume is what remains for your product once plates, shelves and the air gap are taken out of the net figure.
| GEBHARDT TBX | Catalogue | From outer dimensions | From inner dimensions |
|---|---|---|---|
| 600, on castors | 600 l | 1102 l | 568 l |
| 725, on castors | 725 l | 1275 l | 688 l |
| 900, pallet base | 900 l | 1706 l | 904 l |
Most of the gap between gross and net goes to the insulated walls, the base and the castors or pallet. The gap between net and usable is taken by the eutectic plates in the rails at the top of the container, the clearance for cold air to circulate, and boxes that do not fill the inner dimensions exactly.
That is why a container is chosen by box count. The TBX 725 measures 604 × 809 × 1407 mm inside: with a 390 × 290 × 190 mm box you get 2 × 2 = 4 per layer and 7 layers, 28 boxes in total. If the plates and air gap take one layer, the count drops to 24. Send us your box size and we run the same calculation across models and return it with a layout sketch.
