What’s a “cubic ton”? A ton is a unit of weight, not length.

I think it weighs a bit more that a spherical ton, factoring in the corners and all.

They must have meant metric ton.

A metric ton is a unit of measurement based on the metric system, rather than the standard, or imperial, system more commonly used in the United States. It is known as a tonne in most other countries, and is equivalent to 1,000 kilograms. Strictly speaking, it is a megagram, being one million grams.
