What is container loading software?

Container loading software helps freight forwarders and shippers plan how to arrange cargo inside shipping containers before it arrives at the warehouse. Instead of figuring it out by eye or in a spreadsheet, you plan the load digitally — validating weight distribution, center of gravity, and loading sequence. Hansatic adds 3D visualization and one-click auto-layout so you plan correctly the first time.

How is Hansatic different from CargoWiz or EasyCargo?

Hansatic runs in a browser — no download or Windows install required. It calculates real center-of-gravity and axle loads in real time, not just spatial fit. The auto-layout engine optimizes for weight balance, not just space utilization. And Hansatic is the only tool that covers both container and truck loading with live physics validation in one product.

Is Hansatic free to use?

Yes — Hansatic is free to start. You can create load plans, run auto-layout, and export PDF loading instructions without a credit card. Paid plans unlock unlimited plans per month, multi-container shipments, and priority support.

How Hansatic Works

Choose your container

Select from 20ft standard (20DC), 40ft standard (40DC), 40ft High Cube (40HC), or 53ft containers. Internal dimensions and payload limits are pre-loaded — no manual setup.

Add your cargo

Enter item dimensions, weight, and quantity — or drag items from your saved cargo library. Mark items stackable, fragile, or dangerous goods. Flags are enforced automatically during placement.

Auto-arrange and validate weight balance

One click places every item for optimal center of gravity. The CoG indicator updates live as you adjust. Green means your load is balanced and ready to ship.

Share or export PDF

Send a shareable link to your shipper or warehouse crew — no account needed to view. Or download clean, numbered step-by-step loading instructions as a PDF.

Your next load, perfectly planned.
