Pallet Load
Configurator

Enter your product dimensions and pallet size to get a TI-HI count (units per layer × layers), total units per pallet, and a visual stacking diagram.

Configure your pallet load

Enter your product's outer case dimensions, pick a pallet size, and set your max stack height. The calculator checks both orientations (standard and rotated) and uses whichever fits more units per layer.

Getting more out of a pallet

Check Both Orientations

Rotate before you commit

Rotating cases 90° on the deck can add a full column per layer depending on how case dimensions divide into the pallet footprint.

Interlock Pattern

Trade a little TI for stability

Pinwheel or interlocking stack patterns reduce column count slightly but dramatically improve load stability — often worth it for tall or unbanded loads.

Watch the Final Height

Racking & trailer limits

Standard dry van trailers typically clear 102"; racking beam heights vary by facility. Confirm your finished pallet height against the tightest constraint in your supply chain.

Right-Size the Case

Cube efficiency compounds

A case that divides evenly into pallet dimensions with minimal leftover space raises both TI and overall trailer utilization — see the Case Cube Optimizer for sizing help.
