Compared with manually calculated load plans, software designed load plans are often doubted if they have load plan feasibility. That is to say, some people may question if load plans offered by container loading calculators are just theoretical. As to LoadMaster cargo load planning software, the answer is a definite No! Let’s see how LoadMaster can guarantee accurate container loading by taking the following details into consideration.
First, corner castings. Corner castings are two fasteners at the top corners of containers. Although they occupy only a small amount of space in the container, the container will often be too full to load all goods due to the underestimation of the size of corner fittings by experienced personnel. LoadMaster can automatically avoid corner castings when optimizing the load plan, which only needs users to set “Corner Casting Length, Width, Height”. The length, width and height of corner castings are generally 10×10×10cm.
This is how to edit corner castings.
Second, the gap between cargoes when loading them into containers, the carton expansion, and sometimes buffer materials added between the cargoes, which are unavoidable in actual loading operation. You can simulate the above three scenarios by either setting “Reserved Size” or “Spatial Separation” in LoadMaster. “Reserved Size” is to reserve some space in containers in the directions of container length, width and height and is an empirical value to deduct. You can summarize how much should be deducted to guide the on-site loading after using LoadMaster. “Spatial Separation” is to reserve a size between cargoes in the directions of container length, width and height. If you need to balance containers, it is recommended to use “Spatial Separation” to simulate. “Spatial Separation” is an empirical value, and you can try to find the most appropriate value by using LoadMaster cargo load planning software for several times. The recommended setting for the first use is about 1cm.
