Cargo Load Planner Features
Explore the key features of our container loading and pallet optimization software.
Interactive 3D Load View
See exactly how every package fits inside the container.
The load calculator generates a fully interactive 3D view of each container or pallet.
Rotate, zoom,
and inspect your load from any angle to verify that everything fits as expected.
Camera controls to inspect products inside any load.
Hide or unhide individual products for a clearer view.
Step-by-step filling animation showing how to place each package during loading.
Flexible Tilt Options
Control exactly how each package or carton may be rotated.
Define which sides a package or carton may be tilted on during placement. You can restrict
or allow
certain orientations so the container loading calculator respects your real-world packing
rules.
Set allowed rotations per product or carton.
Protect fragile items by blocking risky orientations.
Improve packing density while staying within handling constraints.
Multiple Load Plan Options
Compare different ways of filling your container or pallet.
Cargo Load Planner calculates multiple combinations of how your packages or cartons can be
placed inside a container or pallet.
Automatically ranks combinations by volume and weight utilization.
Highlights the “Best” combination based on overall efficiency.
Review alternative combinations for detailed comparison and flexibility.
Multiple Container & Pallet Filling
Plan shipments that need more than one container or pallet.
When your order does not fit into a single container or pallet, Cargo Load Planner
automatically
splits the products across multiple loads.
Enable “Fill multiple containers” while calculating the load.
Get a separate 3D load plan for each container or pallet.
Quickly see how many containers are needed and how full each one is.
FCL – Equal Quantity Per Product
Find how many units of each product fit in a full container load.
Need to know how many units of one or multiple products will fit into a shipping container
when
quantities must be equal? Cargo Load Planner does this automatically.
Supports single or multiple products/packages.
Calculates equal quantities of each product for a full container load (FCL).
Helps you plan production and order quantities more accurately.
Multiple Units of Measurement (UOM)
Mix metric and imperial units in a single calculation.
Define product or package dimensions in different units of measurement within the same load
plan.
Cargo Load Planner handles the conversions for you.
Length, width, height units: mm, cm, meter, inch, yard.
Weight units: kg and lb.
Ideal for global teams that use different measurement systems.
Smart Weight Check
Always stay within container weight limits.
The load plan respects weight constraints for each container or pallet. You can see how much
weight
is used overall and by each individual product.
Shows percentage filled by weight for the selected container.
Displays weight utilization for each product or SKU.
Helps prevent overweight loads and potential compliance issues.
Custom Containers & Pallets
Model real-world packaging and special equipment.
Create your own container or pallet types when standard sizes are not enough. Define all the
dimensions and limits you need for a realistic load plan.
Set custom length, width, height, volume, and weight capacity.
Use your custom containers alongside the standard container and pallet list.
Perfect for bespoke packaging, oversized pallets, or specialized equipment.
Online & Browser-Based
Nothing to install, always up to date.
Cargo Load Planner is fully online and extremely easy to use. It runs directly in your web
browser,
so there is no software to download or maintain.

Send a container load plan to the person responsible for loading to speed up operations and
reduce
the risk of mistakes.
Every calculation can be shared via a secure link.
Loaders can follow the step-by-step 3D view during loading.
Improves communication between sales, planning, and warehouse teams.
