Container Loading Optimization

Reduce shipping costs with optimized container loading

Stop shipping air. JustLoad.it helps you maximize container space, reduce freight spend, and eliminate the guesswork that costs money on every shipment.

How JustLoad.it Optimizes Your Loads

Reduce shipping costs

JustLoad.it helps you maximize container utilization, meaning fewer containers per shipment and lower overall freight costs.

Automated optimization

The system automatically evaluates container options, weight capacity, and item placement to find the most efficient configuration.

Fast iterations

Test different container sizes and loading strategies in seconds. See utilization percentages and weight warnings instantly before making decisions.

Eliminate guesswork

Replace manual calculations and rough sketches with accurate 3D visualizations. Know exactly how items fit before the container arrives.

Simple optimization workflow

  1. 1.Input all item dimensions, weights, and stacking preferences into the system.
  2. 2.Let the algorithm evaluate standard and custom container options automatically.
  3. 3.Review the 3D visualization and utilization metrics to confirm the optimal load.
  4. 4.Export the loading plan and save it for future reference or similar shipments.

FAQ

Container Loading Optimization 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.
