3D Container Simulation

Simulate container loads in 3D before they ship

Run interactive 3D container simulations to validate loading plans, check utilization, and catch issues before containers arrive. Fast, accurate, and visual.

Why 3D Simulation Matters

See before you load

Visualize exactly how items fit in the container before anyone touches the dock. The 3D simulation shows every item positioned correctly with accurate dimensions.

Fast generation

Simulations generate in under 10 seconds for typical shipments. Test different container sizes and configurations quickly to find the best fit.

Interactive inspection

Zoom, rotate, and pan around the loaded container. Inspect stacked layers, check clearances, and verify spacing from any angle.

Real-time metrics

See utilization percentage, placed item counts, weight totals, and warnings alongside the 3D visualization. All metrics update automatically.

Simulation features

  • Automated item placement based on your rules and preferences
  • Weight-aware stacking that warns about heavy-on-light violations
  • Support for standard ISO containers and custom dimensions
  • Exportable simulation results for documentation and sharing

FAQ

3D Container Simulation 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.
