Loads · pallets and trucks
Load planning
Plan what you ship the way you plan what you cut. NestSolver stacks cartons on pallets and pallets in trucks within each item's limits, keeps every space under its weight and a semi-trailer's axles under theirs, and numbers the loading steps so the dock loads it right the first time.
On every plan: 5 loads a month free, then within the monthly pool from the Bench plan. Linked stages, scan-checked pallet labels, and the cheapest mix of vehicles come with the Works plan.
NestSolver plans cutting and loading for shops that work in lengths, sheets, irregular parts, and loads, and shows the waste before anything is cut or shipped.
Loads the dock can follow
01
Stacks that keep their limits
Say which items may carry others, how many high, and how much weight may sit on top; goods kept apart never share a stack.
02
Weight, axles and balance
Every pallet and truck stays under its weight limit, and a semi-trailer's axles stay under theirs. Top and side views mark where each load's centre of gravity sits.
03
A step-by-step packet
Numbered loading steps: the last stop goes in first, then from the far end toward the doors, bottom to top. The print packet has a sheet per step that shows the load so far.
04
Nothing left out quietly
Anything that didn't fit is listed first, with how many, why, and the nearest fix, like 2600 mm long when the longest space is 2400 mm.
05
Change it by hand
Drag an item to another spot or space and see the axle loads and centre of gravity change before you keep it. Every move is checked by the same rules.
06
Cartons, pallets, trucks
On the Works plan, plan all three as one job, print pallet labels a phone scans to check, and pick the cheapest vehicles.
Load planning: common questions
What can I plan?
Cartons packed loose, pallets stacked within each item's rules, and trucks, trailers, and containers of ordinary sizes, with your own sizes saved for next time.
Does it check axle loads?
Yes, for a semi-trailer: give its axle distances and limits, and every plan keeps the middle and rear axles under them, also after each stop comes off.
Can I plan around a damaged floor?
No. Plan the space as if the damaged area weren't there: shorten the space, or leave that area out.
How long does a plan take?
Most pallet and truck loads plan in seconds. Big loads search in the background and stop once the plan stops improving.
Can I plan loads for free?
Yes. A free account plans 5 loads a month, one stage at a time, each at full speed. The count starts again on the first of each month (UTC). Bench plan plans loads within its 10 hours monthly pool of solver time.
