A tool used to determine the number of boxes that can be efficiently and safely stacked on a standard pallet. This determination is based on the dimensions of the cartons, the dimensions of the pallet, and any overhang restrictions. For example, if a carton measures 12 inches x 10 inches x 8 inches, and the pallet is 48 inches x 40 inches, this tool would calculate the optimal stacking arrangement to maximize the number of cartons per pallet load.
Accurate calculation of pallet loading is vital for optimizing warehouse space, reducing shipping costs, and minimizing product damage during transit. Historically, these calculations were performed manually, leading to potential errors and inefficiencies. The development of automated tools has significantly improved accuracy and streamlined logistics operations, enabling companies to optimize their supply chain management.
