Pallet fit estimate

Plan the load

Choose the pallet footprint, weight and quantity, then switch container types to compare the estimate.

Container type Pallet size

Preset length mm Preset width mm Loaded height mm

Pallet weight kg Pallet quantity Stacking

Wall clearance mm

10 mm per side from each container wall. Pallets keep a fixed 10 mm planning gap between each other.

This is a planning estimate. Real loading depends on cargo overhang, packaging strength, lashing, weight distribution, route restrictions and special handling rules.

Container planning guidance

Turn cargo dimensions into a better first plan

The calculator’s core features compare pallet footprint, loaded height, quantity and gross weight against common container dimensions. Use it to test whether a 20ft or 40ft option looks sensible before requesting a confirmed loading plan.

Try more than one pallet orientation and compare both floor-space use and payload use. A load can fit geometrically but still exceed the container’s weight limit—or stay under payload while failing at the door opening.

Best use cases

Early quote checks, pallet-count comparisons, choosing between common container types and spotting obvious unused space before booking.

What the estimate excludes

Dunnage, bracing, uneven loads, axle limits, door clearance, loading equipment, prohibited stacking and carrier-specific container tolerances.

Confirm before booking

Share final packed dimensions, weight per piece, stackability and loading method with Jenkar. The team can check equipment availability and safe weight distribution.
