A pallet configuration calculator is a useful first step when the cartons are the same size. Pallet load planning becomes more involved when you mix sizes, change permitted orientations or need to respect stacking limits. Start with a simple geometric estimate, then review the requirements that the estimate cannot check.
The free calculator checks cartons placed lengthwise and widthwise across the pallet. A 120 × 80 cm pallet and 40 × 30 cm cartons produce 6 cartons in one uniform grid and 8 in the other. Mixed-orientation patterns may produce different results.
TI is the number of cartons per layer; HI is the number of layers. Multiply the two to estimate cartons per pallet. With 25 cm carton height and 100 cm of cargo height, the geometric example gives 4 full layers: 8 × 4 = 32 cartons.
A carton that fits geometrically may not support the cartons above it. Check compression strength, pallet capacity, load stability and handling requirements. The calculator does not assess whether a particular load is safe to stack.
It compares two uniform orientations for one carton size. It does not search mixed-size or interlocking patterns. For more complex cargo, contact our team about a trial.
Enter the height available to the cartons only. If your limit includes the wooden pallet, subtract the pallet height before calculating.
A quick calculation answers one question. A loading workflow brings the other questions into view.
| Planning question | Free calculators | Detailed load planning |
|---|---|---|
| What is the total cargo volume? | CBM and container volume estimates | Review alongside the cargo arrangement |
| How many uniform cartons fit per layer? | Two pallet grid orientations | Discuss mixed cartons and operational requirements |
| Does the real cargo fit in the load space? | Volume alone cannot confirm fit | Review geometry, orientation and constraints |
| Can the team use the plan on the loading floor? | Use the estimate as a starting point | Check handling and loading order together |
