Calculates boxes per layer, layer count, and total box count from cargo and box dimensions.
Fish Box Loading Reiknivél
Estimate approximately how many boxes fit from the box size and the available cargo-space dimensions.
Built for svið use with floor rotation, stack limits, safety margin, a 2D layout pyfirferð, and shareable URLs.
What This Verkfæri Does
Bera Samans no rotation, all rotated, and mixed-strip placement to choose a practical approximate maximum.
Applies a safety margin and stack limit so you can keep the estimate on the conservative side.
Supports recent-size saving, shareable URLs, CSV export, and a printafla svið minnisblað.
How To Use It
- Enter cargo width W, depth D, height H, and the box width W, depth D, height H.
- Set floor rotation, stack limit, and margin % as needed.
- Yfirferð the maximum box count, boxes per layer, layers, leftover space, and chosen layout.
- Use the share URL, CSV, or print minnisblað when you need to take the niðurstaða into the svið.
Examples
Load fish boxes into a kei van-sized cargo area
Cargo 1200 × 900 × 800 mm, box 600 × 400 × 300 mm, rotation on, stack limit 2, margin 3%
3 boxes per layer × 2 layers = 6 boxes total, with leftover width, depth, and height shown together.
Pack foam boxes into a fish hold
Hold 1600 × 1100 × 900 mm, box 520 × 360 × 300 mm, rotation on, stack limit automatic
Shows boxes per layer, total boxes, chosen layout, and how the safety margin changes the niðurstaða.
Terms
Margin %
A safety margin applied to the cargo dimensions to account for tie-downs, hand clearance, curved walls, and other uncertainty.
Stack limit
A manual cap on the number of layers so you can reflect box strength or site rules.
Mixed strip
An approximate search that fills one side in the normal orientation and inserts rotated boxes into the leftover strip.
Leftover space
A practical width/depth/height indicator, not an exact geometric map of the remaining empty shape.
Formulas
Effective cargo dimension = cargo dimension × (1 - margin % / 100)Per-layer count without rotation = floor(W_eff / boxW) × floor(D_eff / boxD)When rotation is allowed, the verkfæri also bera samans all-rotated and mixed-strip placements.Layers by height = floor(H_eff / boxH), then capped by the stack limit if one is setTotal boxes = per-layer count × layers
Algengar spurningar
Is this a fully optimal packing solver?
No. It is a svið-oriented approximate optimizer. It searches rotation and simple mixed-strip layouts, but not special shapes, fixtures, or full 3D optimization.
Does it judge whether stacking is safe?
No. Box strength and operating conditions vary too much. Use the stack limit to manage that on the safe side.
How should I account for gaps or fixtures?
Use margin %. It lets you reserve space for tie-downs, hand clearance, ice, curved walls, and protrusions.
Can I turn the boxes on their side?
Yes, in advanced settings. It is off by default because it is easy to misuse. Always confirm stability and vara impact on the actual box.
What goes into the share URL?
It stores the dimensions and options needed to reproduce the same niðurstaða, such as cargo size, box size, margin, rotation, and stack limit.
Important Notes
- This verkfæri is an estimate. It does not model fixtures, curved surfaces, protrusions, anti-collapse material, or working clearance.
- Leftover dimensions are indicators only and do not describe the exact empty shape.
- Stack safety, load, slipping, and tipping risk depend on svið conditions.
- Make the final decision against the actual cargo space and boxes.
