Add the cargo you intend to carry
Enter pallets or custom cargo with realistic dimensions, quantities and weights. Keep separate items separate when their position or weight concentration matters.
Logistics planning tool
Truck Load Planner
Truck Load Planner brings cargo dimensions, weight, quantity and loading position into the same LogicCalc workspace as route, timing and transport economics. Review loading-space use, payload use, center of gravity and balance warnings before quoting or dispatching.

How it works
How it works
Build one load plan that brings together cargo dimensions, weight, quantity and loading position. Instead of checking floor space, payload and balance in isolation, use the planner to see which constraint becomes critical for the actual mix of freight.
Arrange the freight in the trailer
Set the loading positions and review how much floor space and capacity the items consume. Place heavy cargo deliberately rather than letting it become an afterthought.
Review all limiting factors together
Check loading-space use, payload use, center of gravity and balance warnings. A plan is not ready simply because every item geometrically fits inside the trailer.
Typical use cases
What you can use Truck Load Planner for
Use the load planner when several constraints interact and you need one operational picture of the proposed trailer load.
Trailer loading
Build a trailer plan for pallets and non-standard freight that compete for the same floor space.
Heavy cargo positioning
Position concentrated heavy cargo while watching payload and longitudinal balance at the same time.
Capacity utilisation
Identify whether space, weight or balance is the real limiting factor before the truck arrives at the loading site.
Practical example
Example: pallets plus two heavy machines
A trailer may have enough nominal floor space for 18 pallets and two machines, yet the two machines can still dominate the payload and axle balance. In the load planner, placing those heavy pieces first and then fitting the pallets around them can expose a balance problem that a simple pallet-count calculation would miss.
Frequently asked questions
Truck Load Planner FAQ
Is the load planner just a pallet calculator?
No. It is intended to combine pallets and custom cargo while also considering weight and loading position. A pallet-space calculator answers a narrower floor-space question.
What if everything fits by dimensions but the payload warning is red?
The load is not acceptable just because it physically fits. Reduce the weight, split the load or use a more suitable vehicle before dispatch.
Why should heavy items be positioned before lighter freight?
Because concentrated weight can drive the center of gravity and axle reactions. Establishing a sensible position for the heavy items first makes the remaining space easier to plan.
Does the planner replace a professional loading or securing plan?
No. It supports dispatch and pre-loading decisions. Actual load securing, dangerous-goods rules, stacking limits and legal axle compliance must still be verified for the shipment.
What to verify before loading
The planner combines several useful checks, but it cannot know every physical and legal detail of the real loading operation.
- Use actual cargo dimensions, weights and stackability; packaging and overhang can change the usable arrangement.
- Verify the real vehicle payload, axle limits and equipment configuration before loading.
- Treat load securing, dangerous goods, temperature control and site-specific loading rules as separate operational requirements.
