Import an Excel packing list and get an optimized 3D load plan in seconds, no installation, no CAD skills. The load optimizer works out how much fits, which equipment mix is cheapest, and exactly where every piece goes. Use it as a container loading calculator to answer "how many containers do I need?" before you quote or book, or as a full freight cubing and load planning tool for complex shipments. Key capabilities: \> Container load optimization across multiple containers and mixed equipment types, with a cost per container so you get the cheapest viable plan, not just the fewest units \> Excel and CSV import of packing lists, plus a cargo library for repeat items \> 3D interactive load plans you can edit by hand, drag cargo between containers, rotate, restack, or swap equipment \> Load rules that match how you actually ship: stacking limits, load priority and drop order, center of gravity, axle weight limits, loading meters, pallet patterns and dangerous goods segregation \> Equipment library covering 20ft, 40ft, high cube, reefer, open top and flat rack containers, trailers and trucks, PMC and AKE ULDs, pallets and vessel holds. You can also build custom containers and crates \> Oversized, out-of-gauge and project cargo, including cylinders, bundles and irregular shapes \> Output your customers accept: PDF or Excel load plans and reports, step-by-step loading instructions for the warehouse, and shareable 3D links \> REST API and integrations to send loadlists from your ERP, TMS or WMS and get finished plans back, or embed the planner in your own portal Freight forwarders, manufacturers, 3PLs, packaging and crating companies, airlines and project logistics teams use Cargo-Planner to cut container and truck costs, load faster, quote with confidence and ship less empty space.
