HVR Operations Level – Weight Estimation
In this section, you will learn to calculate approximate weights of a variety of different products and vehicles. The formula you will use is the following:
Length in feet (L) times (X) Width in feet (W) times (X) Height in feet (H) times (X) Product weight/cubic foot(PW) = Total Approximate Weight in pounds (TAW)
Looks like this: LxWxHxPW= TAW
Example: An aluminum object that is 6′ long, 3′ wide and 2′ tall.
Aluminum weighs 169lbs/cubic foot
6x3x2x169=TAW
6084=TAW
Product Weight Reference Chart (lbs/cubic foot)
Concrete 150
Structural Steel 490
Aluminum 170
Dry Wood 35
