Load planner
3D load plans for trucks, containers, air pallets, rail wagons and US trailers: where every piece stands, axle loads, load securing, forklift steps and CMR data. Five free calculations.
What the load plan works out
- Where every piece stands — in 3D, layer by layer and in loading order.
- The load on each axle and where the centre of gravity sits.
- Load securing and the steps for the forklift.
- The data for the CMR consignment note.
- For trucks and trailers, sea containers, air pallets, rail wagons and US trailers.
Common loading questions
- How many Euro pallets fit in a trailer?
- A standard 13.6 m trailer takes 33 Euro pallets (120 × 80 cm) in a single layer; packed tight with no clearance, it comes to 34. The plan shows how to place them and recalculates for other pallets and cartons.
- How many Euro pallets fit in a 40-foot container?
- A 40-foot container takes 25 Euro pallets in a single layer. For other goods the result depends on dimensions, weight and whether they can be stacked.
- Which vehicles and units does the plan cover?
- Trucks and trailers, sea containers, air pallets, rail wagons and US trailers.
- What does the demo cost?
- Nothing. After entering your e-mail you get five calculations free. The full load planner without limits is in the member zone.
What else Logistics can do
The load plan is just the start. The member zone has everything for a shipment in one place — from loading through documents to the route and checks.
Load a truck, container or wagon
Enter the goods, pick a vehicle and see how it all fits — in 3D, with the weight on every axle.
- 3D drawing and loading sequence
- trucks, vans, containers, wagons, air pallets, USA
- several vehicles and several stops
- axles, centre of gravity and driving test
- My vehicles from the registration papers
Bulk and liquid cargo, timber, cars
Flour, fertiliser, grain, diesel or milk — how much fits by volume and by weight. Logs on a timber trailer, a car on a trailer.
- silo, tipper, tanker with compartments
- bulk density and density with a source
- ADR 20/80 % filling rule
- liquid surge when braking
- timber trailer, trailer for 1–2 cars
Build cartons and pallets
Picks a suitable carton, stacks the cartons on a pallet and tells you whether the bottom carton holds the weight.
- carton selection
- palletising in 3D
- carton strength (BCT)
- the company's own pallets and cartons
- EUR pallets, IBCs, drums, big bags in one click
Secure the cargo
Works out the straps under EN 12195-1, draws them in 3D and prepares a PDF report.
- straps, fillers and vehicle walls
- securing report in PDF
- driving test with securing
- dangerous goods (ADR)
Documents and a link for the warehouse
The plan as a PDF, a link and QR code for the warehouse, a CMR note, package labels, GS1 labels, Excel and a loading video.
