Truck and container loading, cubing and vanning software

• King pin & axle weight
• Manual adjustment
• Weight limit per vehicle segments

MaxLoad Pro has several tools you can use if you are concerned about weight balancing in your loads.

First, any vehicle you define in MaxLoad’s database can be set up with axles and axle weight limits. By default MaxLoad will calculate a load based primarily on cubic space efficiency, but you can change your settings so that MaxLoad will not calculate any load plan that violates these axle weight limits.

Whether you set up weight limits or not, MaxLoad Pro does its best to calculate the weight being carried by each axle of the vehicle. This weight is displayed on the left-hand side of the Solution screen, along with MaxLoad Pro’s calculation for where the container’s Center of Gravity is.

If you do not like the way weight is distributed in the load MaxLoad Pro calculated for you, you can always manually edit the load to better suit your needs. We offer a “quick edit” that allows you to simply click to move the entire load forward or backward within the trailer, or you can use our Edit feature to manually place SKUs where you need them to go. The Edit screen will keep track of your new weight balance as you make adjustments.

There are special ways of calculating based on weight, too. For example, we have two loading algorithms (Flatbed and Load Floor to Ceiling) that load items in full layers from the bottom of the trailer, up. These are good for very heavy items that need to be spaced out along the floor. We also have an option for calculating using “Weight Segments” in the vehicle. When defining your vehicle, you can specify regions of the container and weight limits for each region. Then, when MaxLoad calculates your solutions, the weights in each section will be displayed. If any section is carrying too much weight, it will be shown in red.
