OPERATIONAL INTELLIGENCEPractical context for complex freight decisions.

Freight calculator

Pallet load estimate.

A planning estimate only; physical loading and safety review remain essential.

Step 1

Configuration

Planning estimate onlyThis calculator supports theoretical planning and does not replace operational load or carrier review.

Pallet setup

Pallet dimensions and cargo-only capacity limits.

Planning preset — pending operational review. No overhang is assumed; weight limits are cargo-only and exclude pallet tare.

Carton orientation

Choose a preferred fit and permit only orientations that are physically acceptable.

Automatic mode evaluates every permitted orientation and selects the highest carton count. Choosing an orientation calculates that orientation only.

Permitted orientations

Cargo conditions

Select every condition that applies. A selection keeps the mathematical estimate available but requires operational review.

Package

Declared carton dimensions, weight and quantity.

Planning guidance

Methodology and guidance

Use this local planning estimate to compare axis-aligned package dimensions and declared quantities. Calculation rules, units, limits, orientations, and rounding remain code-owned.

How pallet capacity is calculated

How it works

Use this local planning estimate to compare axis-aligned package dimensions and declared quantities. Calculation rules, units, limits, orientations, and rounding remain code-owned.

Formula and units

Formula and decision logic

For each permitted axis-aligned carton orientation, calculate cartons along the pallet length and width, available layers, and the lower of geometric, weight, and supplied-quantity limits.

Units and rounding

Package inputs can use cm/kg or in/lb; pallet examples and results are converted to cm/kg. Counts are whole cartons; automatic ties follow a fixed orientation order and require manual review.

Assumptions

Assumptions

  • Inputs describe regular rectangular packages and planning dimensions.
Operational load and safety review

Results are not quotations, load plans, safety approvals, or carrier acceptance decisions.

What this result does not confirm

Limitations

  • Results are not quotations, load plans, safety approvals, or carrier acceptance decisions.
Planning example
  • Carton: 40 × 30 × 30 cm
  • Pallet: 120 × 100 cm
  • Maximum loaded height: 180 cm

The selected permitted orientation determines the geometric planning count before weight and quantity caps.
