Pallet Calculator

Logistics can be tricky at the best of times, the pallet calculator will automatically calculate volumetric weight, maximum carton load, pallet load efficiency and provide other logistics information.

The information provided by Pallet Calculator is particularly useful for maximising your goods distribution when sending export freight through a Freight Forwarder.

How to calculate pallet requirement

A step by step guide on how to use the pallet calculator

1. Select unit of measurement (mm = Millimeters, in = inches)
2. Enter carton width
3. Enter carton length
4. Enter carton height
5. Enter total number of planned cartons
6. Select the type of pallet that you will be using

The pallet calculator will now automatically calculate the logistics metrics for you pallet build including volumetric weight

Advanced Pallet Calculator

The Pallet Calculator uses logistics industry standard caveats and metrics as default. The advanced calculator allows you to alter the standard logistics metrics for use of bespoke pallet build / vehicle use.

Alter the below industry standard metrics for a bespoke calculation.

Stackable: Yes No

Ensuring that your goods can be stacked will provide you with the most cost effective means of moving your freight. Non stackable freight is costly as the space above the goods is lost. Cost metrics aside, non stackable freight increases carbon expenditure on the movement of goods. Overall, the logistics industry does not like non stackable goods.

Any Way Up: Not Active in this release Yes No

↑↑ Most goods are packed to be transported in their vertical position as packed; that is 'top up'. This is typically identified by stickers or markings with 2 arrows facing up ( ↑↑). Only select Yes if your goods can be stacked in any configeration. Note: Ensure both the goods and the packaging are capable of this handling!

Max Height: Millimetres

This height caveat is based on freight forwarding height build restriction for lower deck aircraft pallet build. Pallets that are travelling by road and sea can be built higher but you should consider the health and safety aspects of building tall pallets.

Pallet Weight: KGs

This weight is the standard weight of an average wooden pallet. This weight forms part of the consideration for freight movement.
