Freight Cube
The Kübox Freight Cube is a collapsible, pallet-based shipping container designed for heavier, irregular, and freight-like shipments. With a 48x40 base and integrated pallet, it helps convert difficult loads into more structured, standardized shipping units.
As part of our containerized parcel shipping system, the Freight Cube supports more consistent handling, better load presentation, and improved cube efficiency across parcel and hybrid freight workflows.
Important: Easy access to a garage, ground-level entrance, or loading dock is required when shipping a loaded Freight Cube.

Assemble
Kübox is shipped collapsed, like a 7-inch-high sandwich. Assembling is easy and requires no additional tools. Watch how-to videos here.
Place your Kübox on a flat surface.
- Remove the black plastic corner hubs, and take the top lid off.
- Remove the 4 small cardboard spacers from each corner (pack them inside your container, you'll need them later).
- Take the panels and end-walls out of the container.
- Insert the end-walls into the base.
- Fit the panels into the base and the end-walls.
After packing and securing your items inside the Kübox:
- Place the lid on top of the 4 cardboard walls.
- Place the four plastic hubs on each corner of the top lid.
- Insert two plastic pins per corner hub until it clicks. Make sure to place the pins on the top lid and the base of the container to secure the 8 corner hubs.
Pack
Packing fragile items correctly is crucial to ensure they arrive at their destination safely.
Watch out for:
- Items in direct contact with the Kübox walls.
- Fragile items in contact with other items.
- Empty spaces and loose contents.
- Overpacking.
Cushioning:
Items must not touch the crate walls directly.
Use bubble wrap, foam, or other cushioning so items “float” in the center of the crate.
- No empty spaces. Fill voids with cushioning (bubble wrap, foam, or air pillows).
- Clothing, bedding, or soft goods may be used only as secondary filler — never as a substitute for proper wrapping.
Wrapping:
Each item should be wrapped individually to prevent item-to-item damage.
- Wrap each item with at least 2 inches of bubble wrap or foam on all sides.
- Fragile items (glass, ceramics, electronics) should be double-wrapped for added protection.
- Never use paper wrapping as a cushion — it offers no impact protection.
Weight Balance
- Do not exceed the weight limit for each Kübox.
- Distribute weight evenly to avoid pressure points.
- Lid must lock securely and flat, without bulging.
Final Check
- Shake the crate gently — nothing should rattle.
- Confirm all items are cushioned on every side.
Water-proofing:
- Place the plastic cover on the Kübox to protect your items from getting wet.
