Have you ever been disturbed by how to avoid shipping damage to sheet goods during the shipping process? And this becomes way more complex when calculating a load plan including various goods and you also need to ensure the loading rate is not that low. Therefore, how to avoid the shipping damage for such kind of goods as much as possible? Let’s see how LoadMaster load planning optimization software helps easily realizes this !
As for shipping damage, it is a “hot potato” for many industries’ transportation process, especially commonplace for the shipping of sheet goods. And the number of stacking layers is the main factor that decides if the goods can be safely shipped, which is more important during long-distance shipping process and process with multiple transshipments. So how to make restrictions on the stacking layers of sheet goods to ensure the secure shipping? Just set the parameter “Max Stack” (the maximum number of layers that the cargo is allowed to stack on its own.).
Let’s take a look at how to set this parameter “Max Stack” in LoadMaster!
You can choose to set this parameter both in the cargo import template or in the software interface.
Max Stack in cargo import template.
In the software, go to cargo interface and click the [+] in front of each line of cargo and you will see the column of “Max Stack”. Fill in the number that this cargo can be stacked maximally. In this example, cargo VCP2520 can only be stacked for 5 layers. So fill in “5” in the column.
Support Others and Max Stack in the software.
Click “Loading Plan”, you will get an optimal load plan within seconds. In the 3D load plan diagram, you can see cargo VCP2520 is only stacked by 5 layers even if there is still remaining space on top of it, which can help avoid potential shipping damage in the shipping process.

Would you like to avoid shipping damage as much as possible while ensuring a relatively high loading rate in a fast manner? Give LoadMaster a chance and you will be amazed by its powerfulness!
