Need to calculate freight weight but don’t have a scale?
There are a few simple ways to figure it out.
C.H. Robinson is here to help you get an accurate shipping quote—and that starts with knowing your freight weight.
Shipping multiples of the same item? Weigh one and multiply by the total number in your shipment.
You can also check manufacturer specs online—product pages and user manuals often list weights.
Still unsure? Try adding the weights of the materials used to make the product.
And don’t forget packaging. A standard 48-by-48 pallet alone can weigh up to 50 pounds.
Accurate weights help ensure the right shipping method— and avoid surprises on cost.
