Linear Feet Calculator

Estimate trailer linear feet from carton or pallet footprint.

Pallet Utilization Calculator

What percentage of pallet cube your cartons actually use.

How it works

Floor area of all pieces divided by standard 2.4 m loading width. Stacking is not credited.

Formula

LDM = floor area ÷ 2.4 m

Worked example

10 × 0.80 × 0.60 m = 4.8 m² ÷ 2.4 = 2.0 LDM.
