How many folding wagons fit in a 20GP or 40HQ container?
At 85% stowage, a 20GP holds 488 pieces of our 100L folding wagon (model 1038-18, carton 52.5x20x55 cm) and a 40HQ holds 1040. Across the 26 models we manufacture the same containers hold 213-2193 pieces (20GP) and 454-4671 pieces (40HQ). Every model is limited by volume, not by weight.
This page lists the carton size, carton volume (CBM), piece count and total tonnage for every model, so you can build a container plan before you request a quotation. Last updated: 2026-10-16.
Method and assumptions
| 20GP internal volume | 5.898 x 2.352 x 2.393 m = 33.20 m3 |
| 40HQ internal volume | 12.032 x 2.352 x 2.698 m = 76.35 m3 |
| Stowage factor used | 85% for the 20GP (28.22 m3 effective) and 78.7% for the 40HQ (60.09 m3 effective) - the 40HQ figure is calibrated to our recorded loading of 1,040 cartons of the 100L 1038-18 per 40HQ |
| Payload limit | 28 t (20GP) and 26.5 t (40HQ) |
| Pieces per container | floor(effective volume / carton volume). Pallets and loading-plan optimisation are not included. |

Figures are calculated from published carton dimensions and the assumptions above. They are planning numbers: the final count depends on the actual loading plan, carton orientation and mixed-model combinations. Ask us for a loading plan with your order and we will confirm the exact count.
What changes the number
- Carton fit, not carton volume. A carton that divides evenly into the container floor and height loads denser than one that leaves unusable gaps. Two models with similar CBM can differ by 5-10% in pieces per container.
- Palletising. Pallets cost roughly 10-15% of the usable volume. If your warehouse requires pallets, plan on the lower number.
- Mixed orders. Loading two or three models together usually reduces the total piece count slightly, because the last cartons do not fill the remaining space.
- Weight never binds in this range. The heaviest carton in the range is 15 kg gross (1010-NKP); the heaviest fully loaded 40HQ is about 16.5 tonnes against a payload limit near 26.5 tonnes.
- Recorded loading beats calculation. These figures are calibrated against a real loading plan: 488 cartons of the 100L 1038-18 per 20GP and 1,040 per 40HQ. Where we hold loading records for a model, those take precedence over any calculated figure.
- Product revisions. Carton dimensions are reviewed with each production run, so ask for the current packing list with your quotation.
Frequently asked questions
How many folding wagons fit in a 20GP container?
A 20GP holds between 213 and 2193 pieces depending on the model. For the folding wagons specifically: 488 pieces of the 100L 1038-18 (carton 52.5x20x55 cm), 626 of the 150L 1045-B, 391 of the 120L 1010-NKP, 325 of the 237L 2011-DSP and 1125 of the 60L 1000-CXK.
How many folding wagons fit in a 40HQ container?
A 40HQ holds roughly 2.3 times a 20GP: between 454 and 4671 pieces across the range, and for the wagons 1040 pieces of the 100L 1038-18, 1333 of the 150L 1045-B, 832 of the 120L 1010-NKP and 692 of the 237L 2011-DSP.
Is container loading limited by weight or by volume?
By volume, in every model we make. Our heaviest carton is 15 kg gross (1010-NKP), and the heaviest 40HQ load in the range is about 16.5 tonnes (1010-MXH) - below the roughly 26.5 tonne payload limit. You are paying for cubic metres, not kilos.
What stowage factor did you use for these numbers?
We used 85% of the container internal volume: 28.22 m3 effective in a 20GP and 60.09 m3 in a 40HQ. Real loading depends on how the cartons fit the container and on the loading plan, so treat these as planning numbers and confirm the final plan with us before booking.
Can you provide a loading plan for a mixed order?
Yes. Send us the models and quantities you want to ship and we will return a container loading plan with the carton count, total CBM and the remaining space per container. Write to info@wildlore.cc or use the quote form on this site.
