3D TRUCK LOAD PLANNING

Plan the truck load before the truck arrives.

LoadSimulate turns shipment details into a clear 3D loading plan. Review available capacity, unloading order, indicative axle distribution and estimated route CO₂ before dispatch.

No credit card required for the core simulator.

See the plan, not a spreadsheet.

Add pallets, boxes or other cargo and inspect the proposed arrangement in a visual vehicle view.

Prepare for each delivery stop.

Use delivery-stop order to keep early-drop cargo accessible from the loading side.

Hand off a clearer result.

Pro users can retain scenarios, share plans and create professional loading documentation.

What can you check before loading?

Review physical fit, volume use, payload, fitted and unfitted cargo, loading order, indicative axle distribution and professional outputs in one truck load planner.

Worked example: a mixed truck load.

For a 13.6 m curtain-side trailer, you might plan Euro pallets together with cartons and assign multiple delivery stops. Enter the actual dimensions, quantities and total cargo weight, then use the plan to review capacity and indicative axle distribution without assuming a fixed result.

From capacity check to hand-off.

Start with a truck capacity review, inspect the 3D arrangement, then retain the scenario or prepare a PDF/loading instruction when the workflow requires it.

HOW IT WORKS

Create a truck loading plan in three steps

  1. Choose a vehicle.
    Start with the standard curtain-side truck or select the equipment that matches your operation.
  2. Add your cargo.
    Enter dimensions, quantity, unit weight and delivery stop. You can also import a structured spreadsheet in Pro.
  3. Review before dispatch.
    Check the 3D plan, capacity and planning indicators, then prepare a loading instruction when your workflow needs it.
WHAT THE PLANNER HELPS YOU REVIEW

One practical planning workspace

  • Volume and payload utilisation
  • 3D cargo placement inside the selected vehicle
  • Multi-drop loading and unloading order
  • Indicative axle distribution
  • Estimated freight CO₂e for a planned route

LoadSimulate is a planning tool. Final vehicle selection, load securing, axle checks and legal compliance remain the operator’s responsibility.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Truck loading planner FAQ

How many pallets fit in a 13.6 m trailer?

The practical number depends on internal dimensions, pallet footprint, height, weight, access and delivery order. A common pallet count is a starting reference, not a universal result.

Can I plan mixed pallet and box cargo?

Yes. Add supported pallets and boxes to one vehicle plan and review their physical arrangement, capacity and delivery order together.

Can I review axle load before loading?

You can review indicative axle distribution and the load-centre context before loading. It is a planning aid, not a legal weighing or certification.

Does the planner show unfitted cargo?

Yes. The plan distinguishes placed and unfitted units so the remainder is visible for the next decision.

Can I plan multiple delivery stops?

Yes. Assign delivery stops to cargo and review the loading and unloading order for a multi-drop shipment.

Can I export a loading plan?

Pro workflows can retain scenarios, share plans and create professional loading documentation, including loading instructions and PDF outputs.
