How this estimate works

FreightKit keeps the working visible so you can sense-check the answer before using it in a decision.

Load metres = length × width × quantity ÷ trailer width ÷ stackable layers

This assumes efficient rectangular floor placement and even stackability. Confirm trailer width, loading layout, axle limits, and stack safety.

This calculator is a planning aid, not a carrier quotation, engineering assessment, or professional advice. Verify critical figures against current supplier and carrier documentation.
