Use this logistics calculation for a transparent shipment, inventory, warehouse, customs, packaging, carrier, or service-level estimate when the governing units and business rules are explicit.

Cont. length (cm)

Container internal floor length in centimetres.

Cont. width (cm)

Container internal floor width in centimetres.

Pallet length (cm)

Pallet length in centimetres.

Pallet width (cm)

Pallet width in centimetres.

Layers

Number of stackable layers on each floor position.

Fit whole pallets onto the container floor with a straight grid in the better of two orientations (no interlocking) and scale by stackable layers. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.^[1]

Per tier

Whole pallet positions available on one floor tier.

Max pallets

Total pallets across all stackable layers.

Orientation

Orientation that produced the best fit.

• Carrier tariffs, customs rules, dangerous-goods requirements, hours-of-service rules, surcharges, port terms, dimensional divisors, and service definitions vary by jurisdiction, contract, date, mode, and commodity. A calculation is not a booking, classification, or compliance determination.
• Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Verify current carrier and authority documents, retain shipment dimensions and timestamps, test boundary cases, and reconcile estimates against invoices and operational scans.

• Cartons per Pallet TI-HI Calculator

  Compute pallet TI (whole cartons per layer in the better of two grid orientations) and HI (layers under a usable stack height) with no overhang.

• Desiccant Units per Container Lookup

  Divide the water your hygiene spec says must be bound (volume times exposure factor) by the rated grams absorbed per desiccant unit and round up to whole units.

• Freight Class NMFC Density Lookup

  Compute pallet or carton density in pounds per cubic foot and map it to the NMFC density scale. This is a density-only estimate; the applicable NMFC item and other classification characteristics can produce a different class.
