Explanation of Parameters
- Length, Width, and Height: These dimensions determine the overall size of the trailer and are essential for calculating its volume.
- Volume: The total cubic feet of space within the trailer is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height.
- Material Weight: This value represents the weight of the construction materials used in the trailer (e.g., metal, wood). It can vary based on the trailer's design and materials.
- Dry Weight: This is the total weight of the trailer without any load. It is calculated by multiplying the volume of the trailer by the material weight.
