Know Your Pallet Position Count Before You Request a Rate.
Hansatic calculates the exact number of pallet positions your cargo occupies on a standard trailer — live, as you enter your shipment. Walk into every freight negotiation with the right number, not an estimate.
Calculate Pallet Positions FreeHow the Pallet Position Calculator Works
Enter your pallets or cargo
Add each pallet or item with dimensions, weight, and quantity. A standard pallet position is 0.4 LDM (1.2m × 0.8m footprint on a 2.4m-wide trailer floor). Hansatic calculates how many positions your specific cargo consumes, including non-standard sizes.
See positions update live
Total pallet positions appear instantly and update as you change quantities or dimensions. For stackable cargo, positions are calculated from the floor footprint — two pallets stacked count as one position, not two.
Check against trailer capacity
A standard 13.6m curtainsider holds 34 standard pallet positions (floor-loaded). See your position count as a percentage of trailer capacity — immediately know whether you need a full trailer or a partial load quote.
Use the count in your quote request
Carriers and brokers who price by pallet position need an exact count. Export the breakdown or copy the total — your rate request includes the right number from the start, without back-and-forth corrections.
