Calculator guide

Plan mixed cargo inside a shipping container

Estimate how boxes of different sizes, loaded pallets and long bundles of pipes or profiles can be distributed in a 20 ft, 40 ft or 40 ft High Cube container.

The planner checks item orientation, internal geometry and payload. It shows units in the first container, estimated containers required, used volume, net cargo weight and remaining payload.

01

How to use it

  1. Choose the container type and metric or imperial units.
  2. Add one line for every box, pallet or long-cargo size, including unit weight and quantity.
  3. Review the first-container plan, payload meter and unpacked quantities.
02

What the planner checks

Each item is tested in allowed orientations against remaining 3D spaces and payload. A new container is opened when no valid placement remains.

03

Practical use

Combine 60 × 40 × 35 cm cartons, loaded 1.20 × 1.00 m pallets and 6 m pipe bundles in the same plan. Changing quantity or weight updates container count and net cargo weight immediately.

Planning limits

  • The result is an estimate, not a certified loading or lashing plan.
  • Confirm actual container, door and payload data with the carrier.
  • Floor loading, center of gravity, axle limits, dunnage and safe handling require professional review.

Frequently asked questions

Can I mix different box sizes?

Yes. Add as many cargo lines as needed, each with its own dimensions, quantity and unit weight.

Does the planner respect weight?

Yes. It stops loading before the reference payload is exceeded and shows net cargo weight and remaining payload for the first container.

Can it calculate pipes and profiles?

Yes. Select profiles / pipes and enter the outside dimensions and weight of each transport bundle, not each individual piece.
