Will a 75-inch tv (122x41x61 cm) fit in a container?
Expert analysis
A 75-inch tv measuring 48 in × 16 in × 24 in is a tight fit in a container, with about 2 in to spare at the tightest point. The binding dimension is width: in its best-fitting orientation, the width is what comes closest to the limit, and it still clears. The persisted calculation steps support the reported tightest-point margin. That margin already subtracts a <1 in handling allowance, so it reflects a realistic load rather than a paper-thin theoretical fit. One caveat: assuming 0.1" wall thickness (typical cardboard).

- Tightest clearance

- Every axis clears
It fits — but only just.
- Every axis clears the opening — width is the tightest.
- A <1 in handling allowance is already subtracted.
- No tilting or compression needed.

How the container-fit check works
A container is a fully 3D box — length, width, AND height must accept the item simultaneously; corner reachability is a soft second constraint.
- Treat the container as a 3D box and generate the item’s 6 dimension permutations (3 axes × 2 flips).
- For each permutation, apply the constraint: item ≤ container on length, width, and height simultaneously.
- Check reachability — items longer than arm’s reach can’t be loaded all the way into the back corners.
- Subtract 1.5 in handling clearance on each axis for the mover’s grip plus pivot room.
- Verdict ladder (verdict-tiers.js, shared with door): FITS ≥ 2 in; FITS_TIGHT 0.5–2 in; FITS_VERY_TIGHT 0–0.5 in; DOESN'T_FIT below.
Interior dimensions use the published spec; door rails, ribs, and floor lashings can shave 1–2 in off the usable corners.

- ±¼ in tape-measure tolerance applied
- 1.5 in handling clearance subtracted from raw margins before the verdict
- Item treated as rigid — cannot compress, bend, or disassemble.
