Convert 1200 × 1000 mm industrial pallets into planning loading metres using 0.50 LDM per pallet.
Inputs
Practical guide
This is the industrial-pallet counterpart to the EUR-pallet conversion: 1.20 × 1.00 m equals 1.20 m², and dividing by the 2.4 m LDM reference width gives 0.50 LDM.
Change one input at a time when testing alternatives, and use the worked example below as a quick sanity check for units and scale.
How it works
The calculation follows the formula shown in the result card: LDM = Q × 0.50.
When to use it
Use it for quotations and space reservations involving standard 1200 × 1000 mm industrial pallets, especially when they must not be mistaken for smaller EUR pallets.
What to check before dispatch
The 0.50 LDM factor assumes a 1.20 × 1.00 m footprint and a 2.4 m reference width. Real trailer fit still depends on orientation, gaps, equipment and whether the cargo can be stacked.
Worked example
20 × 0.50 → 10.00 LDM.
Common mistake
Do not use the EUR-pallet factor of 0.40 LDM for a 1200 × 1000 mm industrial pallet; its larger footprint gives 0.50 LDM at the same reference width.
FAQ — Industrial Pallet LDM Calculator
Why is one industrial pallet counted as 0.50 LDM?
A 1200 × 1000 mm pallet occupies 1.20 m². Dividing that floor area by the 2.4 m LDM reference width gives 0.50 loading metres.
How is the result calculated?
The current inputs are inserted directly into the displayed formula and the result updates immediately. No extra route, payload or loading assumptions are added unless they are explicit inputs.
Can I use this result for a real shipment?
Use it as a planning input, not as final dispatch approval. Verify the actual cargo, vehicle, loading method and applicable legal limits before the truck leaves.
