Container Loading

Builds 3D load plans for containers, trucks and pallets.

Supported rules and limits

Orthogonal 3D loading with rotations, nonoverlap, support, weight limits and optional center-of-mass bounds.

Version 1.0.0 is a release candidate. Confirm supported rules before integrating.

  • No optimality guarantee; construction can leave feasible items unplaced
  • Axis-aligned rectangles/boxes only; size and position use x,y,z with vertical z
  • No irregular shapes, guillotine cuts, axle reactions or dynamic stability; center-of-mass bounds assume uniform density within each item
  • 3D stacks require full support on a single lower box and propagate supported weights; no bridges or mechanical stability prediction

What you can optimize

  • Volume use
  • Weight balance
  • Containers used

Typical applications

  • Freight forwarding
  • Exporters
  • Pallet building
