The calculator converts product dimensions into cubic feet, adjusts volume by product and packaging factors, and computes shipment density (PCF). It then maps density to an NMFC-style class range for practical LTL planning.
cube (ft³) = (length x width x height in inches) ÷ 1728
effective volume = adjusted cube x pallet count x packaging allowance x stackability factor
density (PCF) = total weight (lbs) ÷ effective volume (ft³)
estimated class = density-to-class mapping table
