Pallets per Container Floor Calculator

Check two uniform pallet orientations on a rectangular floor using your actual usable measurements. Loaded dimensions include overhang; this is not a mixed-pattern optimiser.

Use a saved product specification (optional)

First time using this calculator?

Replace the example values with figures from your supplier sheet or measurements. Choose the unit beside each value. Results update as you type; fix any highlighted field before using the result.

GSM means grams per square metre. Net weight excludes the core and other packaging. MOQ means the minimum order quantity. An optional field can stay blank unless the result you need depends on it.

Prices keep the selected currency; changing its label does not convert an exchange rate. Save or export the result after checking your inputs.

Best uniform floor-grid count

30.00 pallets

Floor count = max(floor(L/PL) × floor(W/PW), floor(L/PW) × floor(W/PL))

length = 12000; width = 2400; pl = 1200; pw = 800; height = 2600; ph = 1500; door = 2500 → Best uniform floor-grid count = 30 pallets

The formula, made clear.

Floor count = max(floor(L/PL) × floor(W/PW), floor(L/PW) × floor(W/PL))

Check two uniform pallet orientations on a rectangular floor using your actual usable measurements. Loaded dimensions include overhang; this is not a mixed-pattern optimiser.

How to use this calculator

  1. 01

    Confirm the specification and measurement boundary: Usable vehicle floor length, Usable vehicle floor width, Loaded pallet footprint length, Loaded pallet footprint width, Usable inside height, Loaded pallet height, Minimum door height clearance.

  2. 02

    Replace illustrative defaults with job measurements and confirmed quotations.

  3. 03

    Check the result and the limitations before comparing equivalent supplier offers.

Check the displayed formula and units against your quotation. Use measured GSM, net weight and actual layout dimensions where available. Default densities are planning assumptions, not certified material properties. Calculated cost does not certify strength, compatibility or safe loading.
