Industrials (commonly referred to as "Haulers") and their Tech 2 variants are the common way of transporting goods, equipment and ships across the EVE universe.

As can be seen in the tables below, Iteron Mark V is the biggest tech 1 cargo hauler. The Impel is the biggest non-capital cargo hauler, with the Occator trailing slightly behind. The Bestower is the biggest at low skills, while the Mammoth leads the chart with moderate skills.

The Orca and the four racial Freighters (the Providence, the Charon, the Obelisk and the Fenrir) have not been included in these charts.

Definition of Cargo Size

Cargo size is a term that relates to the size of an object in m³ (meters cubed). Each item in New Eden has a varying cargo size. From minerals that have a size of .01m³, to ships that are 2500m³ (packaged) and larger. The size of the items to be hauled thus determines how large or small the Cargo size is.

Cargo size is also relative to an item that is unpackaged or packaged. An unpackaged item is in its end state, for example a fully functional ship. While a packaged item is still a ship, but packaged for transport, and needs to be assembled to use it.

Ships can use cargo expanders or rigs to expand the volume, in m³, that they can carry. Freighters cannot use Rig, because they lack Rig slots. The benefit of having more cargo space is, that you are able to haul more items.

Giant Secure Containers

An additional way of carrying extra cargo is to use (a) Giant Secure Container(s), called GSC for short. These containers have a capacity of 3900m³ but only take up 3000m³ in the cargohold. This provides an extra carrying capacity of 900m³ for each GSC that can be fitted into the hold.

For instance, the Iteron V can fit up to 12 GSC's into its hold, providing an additional 10,800m³ of cargo capacity. Grand total for an Iteron V using this trick with 12 GSC's becomes 49,233m³.
