How the Pallet Position Calculator Works

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.
