Orbit and zoom around the loaded container to confirm clearances and stacking height. The 3D scene mirrors the actual ISO dimensions you selected.
3D Container Load Planner
Visualize every shipment before it leaves the warehouse
Empower planners with an immersive 3D workspace that mirrors the real container. Spot issues, communicate ideas, and load faster with less risk.
Why 3D Matters
Catch mistakes early
Utilization, placed-item counts, and weight warnings appear next to the visualization so you can make changes before anything hits the dock.
Keep teams aligned
Pull up the 3D planner and stats from any browser so planners, supervisors, and leadership review the exact same layout.
How to plan in 3D
01
Enter shipment details
Add every item's dimensions, weight, quantity, and allowed orientations inside the guided builder. Choose the loading direction that matches your dock.
02
Let JustLoad.it simulate
Select the suggested container (or a custom size) and run the packing algorithm. Utilization and unplaced counts update automatically.
03
Review & save
Inspect the 3D layout, note any warnings, and save the shipment to your dashboard so you can revisit it later.
How JustLoad.it Stands Out
Weight-aware visuals
JustLoad.it pairs the 3D scene with total weight, max weight, and heavy-on-light warnings so visuals are backed by real numbers.
Standard and custom containers
Evaluate 20ft, 40ft, high-cube, or your own dimensions in the same interface without rebuilding data.
Saved shipment history
Every simulation can be stored in the dashboard, making it easy to revisit past loads or create the next one from a proven starting point.

FAQ
3D Container Load Planner FAQ
JustLoad.it supports all standard shipping containers including 20ft, 40ft, 40ft High Cube, 45ft High Cube, and 53ft Domestic containers. Each container type uses accurate internal dimensions for precise calculations. You can also define custom container dimensions for specialized equipment.
Our 3D bin packing algorithm achieves 85-95% container utilization for most cargo types. The algorithm considers item dimensions, weight limits, stacking constraints, and orientation preferences to generate realistic, implementable loading plans.
Yes! You can edit any saved shipment to add or remove items, change container types, or update notes. The system automatically recalculates the optimal loading configuration whenever you make changes.
JustLoad.it supports centimeters (cm), feet (ft), and inches (in). You can switch between units at any time, and the system automatically converts measurements. Your preferred unit is saved for each shipment.
Yes! Pro plan users can print detailed reports with loading sequences, 3D visualizations, and all item details. All users can export data to CSV or Excel format. Reports are formatted for easy sharing with warehouse teams, freight forwarders, and logistics partners.
Yes! Pro plan users can bulk import items from Excel (.xlsx) or CSV files. Simply upload your spreadsheet with columns for length, width, height, quantity, weight, and notes. The system validates your data and shows any errors before importing.
