VALICALC · TECHNICAL REFERENCE

Loading Metre Quick Reference

Look up floor-area-equivalent loading metres for named pallet footprints at an editable trailer width. Compare quantities without assuming stacking.

QUICK LOOKUP

Search within the verified subset. Numeric sizes match complete designations; a nearby size is a candidate, not an exact match.

How to use this data

LDM per floor position = L[m]×W[m]/usable trailer width[m]. Multiply by floor positions; orientation/gaps can require more actual running length.

    CHECK THE METHOD

    Worked example

    1200×800 mm at 2.4 m usable width gives 0.4 LDM per footprint; 10 floor positions give 4 LDM.

    Common lookup questions

    What should I confirm before using this lookup?

    Area-equivalent planning only; verify overhang, stacking, clearances, payload and the actual allocated equipment.

    TRACEABLE DATA

    Sources, scope & verification

    Dataset v1.3.0
    Last verified:

    Five named pallet footprints. No fixed billable kg/LDM factor or carrier stacking threshold is assumed.

    Values are curated product facts or generated scenarios. Paid standards, complete catalogs and source diagrams are not reproduced. A verification date applies to this documented subset.
