MaxLoad Pro is a space optimization program for mixed SKU cargo load planning. Accurate container and truck loads are planned with intelligent loading algorithms utilizing extensive stacking rules, vehicle specific characteristics, loading priorities, etc. to optimize the placement of mixed products into containers, vehicles, and pallets.

Some key questions MaxLoad Pro answers…

Will my order fit the available space?

How does my product fit in my container, truck, ULD, pallet, rail car, etc?

How many pallets, trucks, containers, etc. does it take to fulfill my order?

MaxLoad Pro supplies users with loading diagrams on how to build the pallets and cube out trucks and containers. It increases transport efficiency, ships more products, lowers freight costs and provides better communications among teams, vendors and customers.

Truck and Container Loading

Determine the number of trucks or containers needed for the order or shipment.
40′ or 40′ HC containers? Compare solutions to find the best mix of vehicles to optimize cube usage and minimize costs.
Load SKUs as floor loads, uniform pallets or in mixed pallets with other SKUs.
Load trucks according to stop offs and loading priority of SKUs.
Enforce load rules and stack codes to minimize product damage.
Loads cylindrical, L-shaped, trapezoidal and bundled SKUs.
Import SKUs and order data in from Excel, SAP, ordering or other ERP systems.
Interface MaxLoad Pro with your TM, WM, or ERP systems to seamlessly transfer SKU and relevant order data.

Loading Algorithms

Load shipcase SKUs, Pallet Loads, L-Shaped SKUs, Drums and Cylinders, Mixed Pallets, and Trapezoid shapes- all in the same container.

Loadable SKU Types

standard regular cartons
cylindrical SKUs in nested or pyramidal patterns
single or bundled L-shape SKUs
trapezoidal SKUs
SKUs all mixed in the same vehicle, as floor loads, uniform or mixed pallets

Supported Vehicle Types

trucks
containers
railcars
air cargo or ULDs
flatbeds
side bay trucks
trucks with shelves
define vehicles with drop decks, wheel wells, corner boxes and more

MaxLoad Pro can help you build mixed pallets while following real-world stacking algorithms.

Create Stable Mixed Pallets

With 3D load diagrams, get actual calculations, not estimates for stable layer mixed pallets.
Optimize LTL orders by calculating the number of pallets needed to fulfill an order.
Know what SKUs are on each pallet and how to build the pallets.
Improve factory automation through accurate SKU placement data to Robotic Palletizers.
Provide accurate case sequence data for AS/RS systems.
Provide picking data to drive voice based and other electronic picking systems.
Integrate with routing and WMS software.
Customizable pallet building requirements.
Ability to run in pure Server Mode “Black Box” and send picking information electronically to build pallets.

Customer Service

At the time of order entry, calculate freight metrics for planning or consolidation of orders.
Convert customer orders to pallet or truck/container orders for improved freight quoting.
Use MaxLoad to calculate the floor space consumed, analyze the remaining linear feet, then accurately increase order quantities to “make the most of every inch.”
Quickly compare orders as palletized, dead stacked, or mixed loads to fit your business needs.
At the time of order entry, improve communications with customers by providing a shipment summary, load list and contents of each pallet and truck/container.
Reduce loading errors and LTL shipments by eliminating the costly “it does not fit” scenario.

The MaxLoad Pro solution screen. At the bottom, note the options for Solution List (compare different loading algorithms), Placement List (step-by-step list of how the products are loaded in the container), Load List (inventory of everything in this container), and Cut List (any items that didn't fit in this vehicle.)

This image shows one of MaxLoad's many report options: the "Load By Placement" report. This provides you with a step-by-step guide for how to load the container in order to achieve the solution MaxLoad has calculated for you. Note how each window shows you the SKU name, description, quantity loaded, and arrangement.

Logistics / 3PL

Calculate floor space for less than truckload (LTL) and full truckload (FTL) freights.
Plan LTL freights using priority groups, stops, and orders.
Allow different loading profiles for different customers.
Create loading diagrams with step-by-step instructions.
Placement reports and load summaries provide shipment details.
Plan drop shipments using load priority or stop offs.
Multiple options for weight-balancing: segmented loads, axle weights, manual adjustments, etc.
