3D Load Planner

Estimate the best carton orientation inside a 20ft, 40ft, or 40ft high-cube container and see how many units fit before you plan the shipment.

Best estimated orientation

Rotate the carton to 60 × 40 × 35 cm inside the container.

Fit count: 9 along length × 5 along width × 6 layers high.

Volume-only cap: 395 units. Usable estimate: 270 units.

Quick answers

Does this planner calculate real 3D packing?

It gives an axis-aligned estimate based on carton dimensions and container internal size. It is useful for planning, but not a substitute for physical loading rules.

Why might the real load be lower than the estimate?

Door clearance, pallet use, bracing, stacking limits, and irregular carton handling all reduce practical capacity.

Planning notes
Axis-aligned estimate only
Does not model pallets, bracing, or door clearance

Use this as an early planning tool before final packing or warehouse confirmation.
