CFT FAQ
Everything you need to know about calculating cubic feet and cubic metre volume.
CFT stands for Cubic Feet, a unit of volume calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height of an object, all measured in feet. It is widely used in shipping, logistics, and construction to measure the space an item occupies.
To calculate CFT, multiply the length, width, and height of an item together, after converting all measurements to feet. If your dimensions are in centimetres, inches, or metres, convert them to feet first before multiplying.
CFT (Cubic Feet) and CBM (Cubic Metre) both measure volume, but in different unit systems. One cubic metre is approximately equal to 35.31 cubic feet. Shipping carriers may use either unit depending on region and mode of transport.
Freight and courier companies often charge based on volumetric weight rather than actual weight, especially for lightweight but bulky items. Calculating CFT accurately helps estimate shipping costs and ensures cargo space is used efficiently.
