Why Loading Planner?
Plan loads in minutes — not spreadsheets — and ship fuller, safer trucks.
Maximise loading metres and fill every truck. Fewer half-empty trips means lower freight cost per unit.
Import a spec sheet and auto-arrange — a clear, to-scale plan in minutes instead of guesswork on paper.
Built-in safety rules: fragile items (windows & doors) are never crushed under heavy packets.
Know exactly how many units fit per truck before you promise a delivery date or price.
Hand the driver a clear A4 PDF loading plan and an Excel specification — no confusion at the dock.
EU trailers, mega trailers, rigid trucks and 20/40 ft containers — all to scale on a 10 cm grid.
To-scale plan
Both side elevations, top view and 3D — on a 10 cm grid with centimetre rulers.
Smart stacking
Auto-arrange puts heavy on the bottom, fragile on top, to use the least length.
LDM & weight
Live loading metres, deck length, payload and axle balance as you load.
Excel & PDF
One-click Excel specification and an A4 PDF plan for the driver.
How it works
Drop in a PDF/Excel spec sheet, or add packets by hand.
Auto-arrange or drag packets onto the truck — stacked and to scale.
Export the Excel spec and the A4 plan for the driver.

Frequently asked questions
What is a loading planner?
A loading planner is software that lets logistics and sales teams plan how cargo fits onto a truck or container before loading. It shows exactly how many items fit, calculates loading metres (LDM), and prevents costly damage from unsafe stacking.
What is a loading metre (LDM)?
A loading metre (LDM) is a unit measuring the floor area used on a trailer. One loading metre equals 1 metre of trailer length × 2.4 m width. A full EU trailer is 13.6 LDM. Carriers price loads by LDM — filling every metre reduces your freight cost per unit.
Which vehicle types does Loading Planner support?
Loading Planner supports EU trailers (13.6 m), mega trailers, rigid trucks, 20 ft containers and 40 ft containers — all rendered to scale on a 10 cm grid.
Can I import my product spec sheet?
Yes. You can import an Excel or PDF specification sheet and the packets are added to your plan automatically. You can also add items by hand.
How much does Loading Planner cost?
Loading Planner costs €79/month billed monthly or €69/month billed annually (€828/year). Prices exclude VAT and a VAT invoice is issued with every plan. There are no setup fees and you can cancel anytime.
How does the free trial work?
Sign in with your Google account and you get full access for 3 days — no credit card required. When the trial ends, pick a plan to continue; your saved plans are kept.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Loading Planner runs entirely in your browser — nothing to install, no IT approval needed. It works on any modern computer.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Your plans are stored securely in Google Firebase (EU-focused infrastructure), we are GDPR-compliant, and we never sell your data. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Why not just use Excel or paper?
Excel doesn't catch an overloaded axle or an LDM overrun before the truck leaves. A to-scale plan with live weight and axle-balance checks does — one avoided mis-loaded truck pays for a year of Loading Planner.
