What does the load calculator do?
This tool calculates how many identical boxes fit into a container or truck. It tries different box orientations and respects "this side up" markings and the vehicle payload limit.
How it works
- Enter the carton length, width, height and gross weight.
- Choose the container or vehicle type.
- Lock the box orientation if needed.
- The tool shows the maximum quantity within the volume and weight limits.
Weight limit example
If each carton weighs 20 kg and the payload limit is 10,000 kg: 10,000 / 20 = 500. Even if more cartons fit by volume, only 500 cartons can be loaded.
Important note
Results are theoretical maximums. Real loading depends on box strength, door clearance, securing and dunnage material, and weight distribution. Ertaş Global Logistics can help with a quote for your loading plan.
Use the outer carton dimensions and gross weight when calculating. For cartons that cannot be turned or stacked, lock the orientation; otherwise the tool may suggest a layout that cannot be used in practice. When in doubt, treat the result with a safety margin.
