Container & Trailer Load Calculator

Enter your pallets and/or boxes — they're packed together into the same container/trailer for real-world mixed loads, compared across standard sizes, with a load guide showing where everything goes.

Load Specs

Load Type

Mix palletized freight and loose boxes in the same container/trailer to use the space as efficiently as possible.

Optimization Mode

Calculates how many containers/trailers you need to move all the quantities you enter below.

Palletized Items

Enter pallets you've already built (footprint, loaded height, weight). Ocean containers often allow stacking for sturdy loads; road trailers usually don't unless you're using load bars/decking — check with your carrier.

Loose / Floor-Loaded Boxes

Enter individual box sizes — they're placed directly on the floor and in the gaps around your pallets, no pallet required.
