About the Volvo XC40 2023 boot
Lifting is the main effort with the Volvo XC40 2023 boot: the loading sill sits at 75 cm. Once you have a box up there, the floor is level with the sill, so there is no step down on the other side. The opening itself is 106 cm wide and 73 cm high. Behind the rear seats you have 91 cm of floor, at least 101 cm wide. Fold them and it stretches to 168 cm, a gain of 77 cm. Several boxes can share the floor, and a box longer than 91 cm only lies flat lengthways with the seats folded. A standing box can be at most 73 cm tall. With a heavy box, rest one end on the sill first, then push it in.
About the KALLAX Shelving unit, white, 182x182 cm package
Four long, flat boxes hold this KALLAX, 53.6 kg between them. Two measure 186 cm × 41 cm × 8 cm and weigh 10.85 kg and 11.1 kg. The other two are 178 cm × 40 cm × 7 cm, shorter but heavier at 15.75 kg and 15.9 kg. Lying flat and straight, the two longest need 186 cm of boot floor. On their sides and at an angle, they can fit in a shorter boot. A box this long and thin is hard for one person to keep level. Work in pairs instead, hands under the box near both ends, and keep it level until it is in the boot.
