TGP has changed over the years, I've been on there since 2003. As user growth happens so does everyone's options, as do their self entitlement attitude. forums are awesome, but when they become a drag to hang out in, is when I walk away for a while.
On second thought, I guess the boxing could be smaller than I first thought - I was thinking closer to 32 x 24 x 10. And I don't think you can stack them all the way to the top - would be too much pressure on the bottom units. Closer to 3-400 maybe?
Boxes are stronger than you think in terms of supporting static weight across their entire surface. As I mentioned in my post I would expect, but could wrongs that there are master cartons (X number unit per master carton) which use more rigid cardboard.

I'm not waiting on an AX-8 so I'm just doing this for fun. I wondered and learned, that's all. As I said, I wasn't 100% on the size of the unit's box nor did I know how much volume a master carton would take and the same with palettes. I know they are part of the equation but they are all X at this point.
Not picking on you at all. Sorry if it came off that way. You are just the latest analytical post I have seen. What you did for fun I promise someone will take a few level's deeper and it will be internet Gospel before Sat. So will it be your fault if that happens? Heck no but dudes will never stop going as far off the deep end as possible ;-)I'm a game designer by trade so analysis is part and parcel for my trade. I live for spreadsheets.
No worries. I didn't take offense. Even if I was waiting for an AX8 I wouldn't been trying to predict when I was going to get one. I won't fall into that trap. I play "What if" a lot and like solving problems like this one. I learned that the interior of a 40' shipping container is 39' long, 7'8" wide and 7'9" tall.
I thought they would be a little taller. Average pallet is usually either 48x40x48 If it is under 8ft tall pallets might be 48x40x72
won't happen
Eh, I just Google'd "40' shipping container dimensions and used the first numbers I found. Like I said, just for fun not accuracy.

). IOW, it might be 6-12 weeks before customers see the benefit of those containers.
Were you just trying to restate what I said?
No, just piggy backing... trying to help people realize that FAS is not likely getting big containers full of AX8s ready to be delivered to customers' doors next week. "Containers" is usually OEM-speak for "the stuff on is a boat" and more truth is typically found in what is not said than what is said.
