Use the converter for quick comparisons, or scan the reference tables for the common freight values.
Use the converter’s features to switch between common metric and imperial weights or dimensions while checking supplier paperwork, packing lists and shipment enquiries.
For a usable quote, record the packed length, width and height of every piece—not only the product dimensions—and confirm whether weights are net or gross. Small differences can change pallet fit, vehicle choice and chargeable weight.
A useful shipment description keeps the original figures and the converted figures together. For example, write “120 × 100 × 145 cm, 480 kg gross” rather than sending three unlabelled numbers. This makes the order of dimensions, unit and weight basis clear to the person pricing or planning the move.
Include pallets, crates, protective packaging and any part that overhangs. Freight is planned around the space and weight presented for collection, so measure again after final packing.
Air and parcel carriers may compare actual weight with a volume-based chargeable weight. The divisor can vary by carrier and service.
Use a single unit system in the final booking details and label it clearly. Mixed centimetres, millimetres, inches, kilograms and pounds are a common source of errors.
Keep enough decimal precision while converting, then round the final operational figure in a sensible direction. Repeated rounding can understate total volume or weight across many pieces. When several cartons differ, list each size or group identical pieces instead of averaging them.
Use the tool for a quick conversion, then ask Jenkar to confirm quoteable dimensions and chargeable weight.
