There are four types of containers: flat pallets, boxes, containers, and trucks. All containers have basic attributes such as name, length, width and height, quantity, type, and cost, but each container also has corresponding unique attributes.

1) The attributes corresponding to the flat pallet include: maximum load height, allowable extend length and width size.

â‘ Maximum load height: the maximum height allowed for the goods to be placed in the pallet, including the height of the pallet itself.

â‘¡Extend length and width size: the goods on the pallet are allowed to exceed the size of the pallet in the length and width directions.

2) The box can be a wooden box or an iron box. The corresponding attributes include: out length, width and height, and inner length, width and height. The inner length, width and height are used to define the size of the container when the goods are packed; the outer length, width and height are used to define the size of box when loaded into the container.

3) The corresponding attributes of the container include: the maximum load weight, the inner length, width and height, the size of the corner castings, and the reserved size.

â‘ Maximum load weight: When the loaded goods are too heavy, LoadMaster automatically limits the total weight of the goods not to exceed the maximum load weight of the container for safe transportation.

â‘¡The size of corner castings: The red part in the figure below is the corner casting, which are the two fasteners at the top corners of the container. Although they occupy only a small amount of space in the container, the container will often be too empty or too full to load all goods due to the underestimation of the size of corner fittings by experienced personnel. LoadMaster can automatically avoid the corner castings when optimizing the plan, which only needs the user to set the size of the corner.

â‘¢Reserved size: Spatial separation and carton expansion is inevitable in actual loading operation. In order to ensure the designed loading scheme is feasible, it is necessary to reserve a certain size in advance to ensure that all the goods can be fully loaded on site.

It is an empirical value to deduct how much in the container length, width and height. Uses can summarize how much should be deducted after using LoadMaster to guide the on-site loading.

If you use a forklift to load the cabinet, it is recommended to set the following reserved dimensions when using LoadMater for the first time:

  1. 20GP: reserved 5-8CM in length, 3-5CM in width, 3-5CM in height

  2. 2.40GP/40HQ: reserved 10-15CM in length, 3-5CM in width, 3-5CM in height

If it is manual loading and most of the packaging boxes are carton packaging. It is generally recommended to set the following reserved size:

  1. 20GP: reserved 5-8CM in length, 3-5CM in width, 10CM in height

  2. 40GP/40HQ: reserved 10-15CM in length, 3-5CM in width, 10CM in height
