Questions
Common questions
Does CBM show how many boxes will fit?
CBM is a useful volume measure, but it does not account for item orientation, unusable gaps or the actual container shape. A 3D arrangement provides a more practical fit check.
Which container sizes can I calculate?
Cargo Simulator includes presets for 20FT, 40FT, 40HC and 45HC containers.
Can I calculate mixed cargo?
Yes. You can enter multiple cargo types with different dimensions, quantities and weights in the same plan.
Can I export the loading result?
Loading results can be exported for review and documentation after the arrangement is prepared.
