EasyCargo vs Cargo-Planner

The user can define a loading space by its internal length, width and height, and the planner keeps all cargo inside it.

Counts when: Documentation shows a loading space with user-entered or preset internal length, width and height that the planner packs within.

“select the type of cargo space and enter the required details: length, width, height, max load of the cargo space”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/blog/how-can-you-calculate-your-truckload-capacity-use-software-dont-do-it-manually/

“If the documentation does not directly specify the dimensions of the loading area, make sure you specify the internal dimensions of the cargo space.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/893/work-with-cargo-spaces

Predefined catalogue (about 45 types) plus custom spaces (Administrator role only). The API can create only Container-type spaces, dimensions [1;100000] mm.

The user can mark a fixed part of the loading space (such as a reefer unit, wheel arch or corner casting) as unusable, and the planner keeps cargo out of it.

Counts when: A documented input for at least one obstruction with a position and size inside the space, which the planner does not load into.

No obstruction input. The only related vendor material is the double-decker blog's 'dummy cargo item' (an ordinary cargo item the size of the deck, placed first so upper-deck goods stack on it); it has no user-set position and is documented for visualising a deck, not for blocking a region. A sprinter-van blog mentions wheel wells as 'dead zones' only as general advice.

The user can block any number of box-shaped regions, each at a freely chosen position and size, inside the loading space.

Counts when: Documentation shows more than one blocked region per space, each with its own free position and size.

No blocked regions of any kind are documented.

Terms: obstacle, obstruct, blocked region, zone, keep clear, dummy item.

For a plan, the user can keep a set gap below the ceiling (or cap the load height below the internal height) without redefining the equipment.

Counts when: A documented setting, per plan or per equipment, that lowers the usable height or enforces a ceiling clearance, separate from the internal height.

“Loading Size – usable CargoSpace size can now be adjusted for each Shipment. It can be made smaller or even bigger”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/release-notes/page/7/

“these settings can also be used when it is necessary to leave space between the cargo and the ceiling for airflow, especially in the scenario of a refrigerated container.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/1619/how-to-create-a-load-plan-for-oversized-cargo

Lowers usable height (or length/width) for one shipment without editing the equipment. It is a smaller box, not a separate clearance parameter, but the vendor documents it for exactly this purpose.

The user can model a loading space whose floor or ceiling height changes along its length (drop-deck, step-deck, gooseneck, split-level), and the planner respects the steps.

Counts when: A documented input for at least one step in floor or ceiling height at a set distance along the space.

Vendor advice for uneven floors is to approximate: 'If the floor slopes, fill in the lesser of the clearances.' (https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/893/work-with-cargo-spaces). Cargo spaces are single boxes.

The user can model a loading space whose cross-section is not rectangular, such as a ULD with a cut-back side or a rail wagon with a curved roof, and the planner keeps cargo inside that contour.

Counts when: A documented input that describes the contour (points, slope parameters or steps across the width or height), which the planner respects.

All cargo spaces are boxes; no ULD or rail equipment in any source.

The user can model a loading space whose cross-section is not rectangular and whose floor or ceiling height also changes along its length, both in the same unit, and the planner respects both. †

Counts when: Documentation shows a single space definition that combines a non-rectangular cross-section with a lengthwise height change, and the planner keeps cargo inside both.

No contour input of any kind.

Terms: contour, profile, cross-section, ULD, step, slope.

The planner treats a sloped contour face as a slope, so cargo can be placed right up to the sloped wall rather than stopping at a rectangular step.

Counts when: Documentation shows the contour defined by an angle, chamfer or interpolated points, and cargo placed against it.

Only reference to slopes is the advice to enter the lesser clearance of a sloping floor (help article 893), i.e. approximate with a box.

Terms: slope, sloped, angle, chamfer, contour.

The user can model one unit made of several separately packed sub-spaces, such as holds, sections, bays, a second deck, shelves or the two parts of a road train, each with its own dimensions.

Counts when: A documented input for at least two internal sub-spaces of one unit, each with its own geometry, that the planner packs as parts of that unit.

“Currently, EasyCargo does not automatically load double-decker trucks. This is because the variability in design, flexible height, and removable nature of auxiliary decks complicates the optimization algorithm.”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/blog/using-easycargo-to-optimize-load-planning-for-double-decker-trailers/

“The method for simulating two-tier loading relies on the flexible use of the Maximum Loading Height and load capacity function .”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/blog/using-easycargo-to-optimize-load-planning-for-double-decker-trailers/

Not counted: only reachable by manual work or off-label use.

Vendor-stated limitation for double decks, with a documented two-pass workaround (cap loading height at the deck height with half payload, remove loaded items, load again). No multi-hold, shelf, section or road-train-as-one-unit modelling found. A truck attached to a semitrailer is used only for axle loads, not as a second loading space.

The user can set a door opening smaller than the internal cross-section, and the planner does not load items that cannot pass through it.

Counts when: A documented door width and height input, documented as limiting what is loaded.

Door dimensions are not a cargo-space field (fields: length, width, height, max load, track size, axles).

Terms: door, door opening, aperture, entrance, door width, door height.

The user can set which face of the space is the loading face (rear, side or top), and the planner builds the load, and any unloading order, from that face.

Counts when: A documented per-space loading or access face that changes how the load is built.

The planner always fills 'from the front wall to the back' for trucks and containers (https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/59/loading-pallets); no loading-face setting.

Terms: side load, side door, curtain, top load, loading face, access, from the side, rear door.

On open-top, flat-rack or flatbed equipment, the planner can let cargo rise above the walls or extend beyond the deck edges, up to set limits.

Counts when: A documented open-equipment behaviour or envelope setting that allows cargo beyond the wall height or deck length/width, with a stated limit, used by the planner when placing.

“To simulate an open-top container, increase the height of the selected container’s loading space. ... For flat-rack containers, you’ll need to increase both the height and the width of the loading size to reflect the open sides.”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/journal/plan-shipments-with-open-top-and-flat-rack-containers/

“It can be made smaller or even bigger, which allows cargo to overhang the actual vehicle”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/58/weight-distribution

How it is done with general settings

1. Select a standard container or flatbed from the catalogue (https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/34/1-which-cargo-spaces-are-available). 2. In Loading Calculation Settings, click the truck (Loading size) icon and enlarge height (open-top), height and width (flat-rack) or length (overhang) by a delta or absolute value (https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/1619/how-to-create-a-load-plan-for-oversized-cargo; https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/journal/plan-shipments-with-open-top-and-flat-rack-containers/). 3. Press Load; the planner packs within the enlarged envelope (https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/58/weight-distribution).

• Combination of general settings, shown by the vendor

Which end a length overhang extends from (rear only or both) and whether width grows symmetrically is not stated for vehicles; the pallet example grows width '20 centimeters on each side'. No wall-height notion: the enlarged box applies to all items, not only those above the walls.

When the cargo does not fit one unit, the planner places the rest in further units of an offered type and reports how many are needed.

Counts when: Documentation shows the planner adding units automatically until the list is loaded (or an available quantity runs out), without the user adding each unit.

“Items that did not fit will be loaded into the next cargo space of the same type. The maximum number of additional cargo spaces that can be generated beyond the first cargo space is 9. If all items do not fit, the process needs to be repeated with the remaining items.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/1031/5-can-i-load-into-more-cargo-spaces

“Automatic multi-load report generation – a new option in the Print window to automatically load the rest of the shipment items into other cargo spaces and generate a report for each load.”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/release-notes/page/6/

Same cargo-space type only; at most 9 additional spaces (10 reports); triggered from the Print dialog ('Load remaining items into additional cargo spaces'). The vendor's Oct 2023 comparison saying EasyCargo does not offer this is outdated (option exists since May 2022).

From several offered equipment types, the planner decides which types to use and how many of each, in one run.

Counts when: Documentation shows an automatic choice among two or more equipment types within one plan.

“If you want to load the remaining items in another type of cargo space, please uncheck the option “ Load remaining items into additional cargo spaces” and only keep the first option checked “ Remove loaded items from input list” . In the next step, you will be able to choose the cargo space best suited for your needs.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/1031/5-can-i-load-into-more-cargo-spaces

Not counted: only reachable by manual work or off-label use.

The user picks each equipment type and re-runs the planner on the leftovers; no automatic choice among types. Per the row's definition note this sequence of manual passes is a workaround.

The user can cap how many units of each type are available, and the planner never uses more, leaving any remainder unloaded.

Counts when: A documented available-quantity input per equipment type that the planner honours.

The only cap is the fixed maximum of 9 additional same-type spaces in the overflow option, which is a product limit, not a user input.

Given several candidate equipment types, the planner picks the smallest type that holds a load: the whole shipment, or the last, partly filled unit.

Counts when: Documentation shows the planner selecting (not the user comparing) the smallest sufficient type for a whole shipment or swapping the last unit for a smaller type.

The user chooses: the homepage says the result 'allows you to decide whether to change the type of container for a smaller one', and the tutorial says 'If you want, you can choose a smaller container that will be better utilized' (https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/90/load-planning-into-more-cargo-spaces).

Terms: cost, price, rate, freight cost, cheapest.

The user can cap the fill of a unit at a set percentage of its volume or weight.

Counts when: A documented maximum fill-percentage input per unit or per plan that the planner respects.

A blog gives general advice to leave about 10% of a container empty, with no setting. Shrinking the loading size can reserve space but is not a percentage cap.

The user can enter cylindrical items (drums, rolls, pipes) by diameter, and the planner packs them as cylinders rather than as bounding boxes.

Counts when: A documented cylinder item type with a diameter input.

“Currently, you can only plan the loading of cuboid and rectangular shapes with EasyCargo. Unfortunately, cylindrical shapes/pipes/other round articles are not supported yet.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/37/6-can-i-load-cylindrical-shapes--pipes--round-articles--irregular-shapes

Vendor states cylinders are not supported.

The planner can nest cylinders in offset rows (hexagonal or pyramid packing), so that each sits in the gap between two cylinders below or beside it.

Counts when: Documentation of a nesting, staggered or honeycomb arrangement for cylindrical items.

“Currently, you can only plan the loading of cuboid and rectangular shapes with EasyCargo. Unfortunately, cylindrical shapes/pipes/other round articles are not supported yet.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/37/6-can-i-load-cylindrical-shapes--pipes--round-articles--irregular-shapes

Follows from the cylinder limitation; no nesting possible.

Two items of a non-rectangular shape can interlock: the planner uses the shape of both the item being placed and the item it is placed against (for example L-shapes nested into each other, or tapered items flipped against each other). †

Counts when: Documentation shows the planner fitting a shaped item against another shaped item using both shapes, not only the bounding box of the item being placed.

“we don’t plan to add triangular shapes as the calculation would become too complex.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/37/6-can-i-load-cylindrical-shapes--pipes--round-articles--irregular-shapes

Only cuboids; the vendor suggests approximating two right-angled triangles as one box.

Other cargo can be placed into the free space inside or under an item (a cavity, a frame, the space under an overhang or an L-shape's seat), with the placed cargo treated as its bounding box. †

Counts when: Documentation shows cargo of a different item placed into the free space of another item.

“Please note that currently EasyCargo only works with cuboid rectangular shapes . Other shapes are not supported yet.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/53/inserting-items

• Follows from documented behaviour rather than stated outright

Items are solid cuboids, so no item has free space for other cargo. Nothing found on placing cargo inside or under another item.

The user can enter items of arbitrary 3D shape (for example from a CAD or mesh model), and the planner packs the actual shape.

Counts when: Documentation of an arbitrary-geometry item input that the planner packs by its real shape.

Per item type boolean. Marking all items non-stackable is also the vendor's suggested way to stop height-first stacking.

The user can require an item to stand on the floor of the space.

Counts when: A documented per-item must-be-on-floor setting.

'Do not stack on this cargo item' forbids cargo on top of the item; nothing requires the item itself to stand on the floor.

The user can limit how many units of the same item may be stacked on each other.

Counts when: A documented per-item tier or stack-count limit.

“By lowering the ceiling of the space, you can enforce loading into layers. This enables you to specify how many layers or how many other items you can place on a particular item.”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/journal/how-to-create-an-oversized-cargo-load-plan/

Not counted: only reachable by manual work or off-label use.

Only by lowering the shipment's usable height, which applies to every item at once. The definition note classes this tip as a workaround.

The user can limit the tier an item may occupy, or the total number of tiers in a stack, whatever items are below it (for example never above the second tier).

Counts when: A documented limit on stack levels that counts different items, per item or for the whole unit.

“By lowering the ceiling of the space, you can enforce loading into layers. This enables you to specify how many layers or how many other items you can place on a particular item.”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/journal/how-to-create-an-oversized-cargo-load-plan/

Not counted: part of the pass condition is not shown; only reachable by manual work or off-label use.

The same ceiling tip caps the stack for the whole unit, but only in height, not in tier count; it gives a tier limit only when items share one height.

The user can limit the height above the floor at which a specific item may be placed or to which it may be stacked.

Counts when: A documented per-item maximum placement or stacking height in length units.

No per-item height limit. The per-shipment loading size lowers the ceiling for all items (see equipment-height-cap).

The planner can keep all units of the same item together in one block.

Counts when: A documented setting that keeps like items together (or stops identical items being spread).

“Thanks to this feature, you can easily divide items into different priority groups based on the order in which you need to unload them. You can also use this feature to keep certain items together.”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/blog/how-to-calculate-a-containers/

“(Priority) Groups enable you to decide in which order the items will be loaded into the cargo space. Items in Group 1 will be loaded first , followed by the second group, then comes the third group, etc.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/61/how-to-change-the-order-of-loading-using-priority-groups

How it is done with general settings

1. Put the item type on its own in a priority group; up to 50 groups per shipment (https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/96/determining-the-loading-order-through-priority-groups). 2. Keep the default 'Respect separation', which loads group by group ('We finish loading Group 1 completely before touching Group 2', https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/journal/do-you-need-to-load-or-unload-the-cargo-gradually-with-priority-groups-its-a-piece-of-cake/), or choose 'Split of priority groups with an invisible wall' for a separate section (https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/97/advanced-priority-groups-settings-). 3. Load.

• Combination of general settings, assembled by the auditor from documented parts
• Relies on a setting other rows also use; they may not all work at once

No dedicated keep-identical-together switch. Using a group also fixes that item's place in the loading order.

The user can assign items to groups (such as orders or customers), and the planner keeps each group's items together in the unit.

Counts when: A documented group attribute and a keep-together rule.

“Thanks to this feature, you can easily divide items into different priority groups based on the order in which you need to unload them. You can also use this feature to keep certain items together.”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/blog/how-to-calculate-a-containers/

“The latter setting also divides the cargo space into separate sections , each of which contains one priority group. This way, it's possible to physically divide the cargo directly inside the container with support bars.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/97/advanced-priority-groups-settings-

Up to 50 named priority groups (UI, Excel, API). Groups double as the loading sequence. Under the default 'Respect separation', later groups may be stacked onto earlier ones; the invisible wall gives strict separation.

The user can require all items of a group to go in the same unit when the shipment needs several units.

Counts when: A documented rule that forbids splitting a group across units.

The overflow option ('Load remaining items into additional cargo spaces') documents nothing about keeping groups whole across spaces.

Counts when: A documented rule that separates groups into distinct sections (an invisible wall, zero overlap, segmented stops or barriers).

“The latter setting also divides the cargo space into separate sections , each of which contains one priority group. This way, it's possible to physically divide the cargo directly inside the container with support bars.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/97/advanced-priority-groups-settings-

“Split with an invisible wall: Imagine a vertical wall between your groups. It keeps them totally separate, like they are in different rooms. This is essential for separating dangerous goods , maintaining high-security loads , or simply ensuring different clients’ orders never touch.”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/journal/do-you-need-to-load-or-unload-the-cargo-gradually-with-priority-groups-its-a-piece-of-cake/

Per-shipment setting applied to all groups; sections follow group order along the length. No divider thickness is modelled; the vendor suggests physical support bars at the section boundary.

The user can forbid items of one group (order, stop, customer) from being stacked on items of another group.

Counts when: A documented group-level stacking ban.

“The former setting prevents groups from stacking. The setting can be used for example to separate items that can be stacked but that should not have other items placed on top of them for weight reasons etc.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/97/advanced-priority-groups-settings-

“No stacking of priority groups: Do you have fragile stuff in Group 1? Select this. We won’t let Group 2 sit on top of Group 1.”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/journal/do-you-need-to-load-or-unload-the-cargo-gradually-with-priority-groups-its-a-piece-of-cake/

Per-shipment switch covering all groups at once; groups are also the loading order.

The user can prevent specific items or groups from sharing a unit.

Counts when: A documented rule, compatibility matrix or group-to-unit restriction that keeps chosen items out of the same unit.

“Groups can also be used in case you need to divide items that should not be mixed, e.g., dangerous products.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/49/prerequisites

Groups separate items within one cargo space; nothing keeps items or groups out of the same unit except planning separate shipments by hand.

Terms: not mixed, separate container, incompatible, segregation, same unit.

The user can keep specific items (or classes) apart within the same unit: at least a set distance apart, or never anywhere above one another.

Counts when: A documented separation-distance or not-above rule between items or classes in one unit.

“Split with an invisible wall: Imagine a vertical wall between your groups. It keeps them totally separate, like they are in different rooms. This is essential for separating dangerous goods , maintaining high-security loads , or simply ensuring different clients’ orders never touch.”

“Groups can also be used in case you need to divide items that should not be mixed, e.g., dangerous products.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/49/prerequisites

How it is done with general settings

1. Put the items to be kept apart into different priority groups (https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/61/how-to-change-the-order-of-loading-using-priority-groups). 2. Select 'Split of priority groups with an invisible wall', which puts each group in its own section of the space (https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/97/advanced-priority-groups-settings-). 3. Load; groups are 'totally separate, like they are in different rooms', so no item of one group is above one of another (https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/journal/do-you-need-to-load-or-unload-the-cargo-gradually-with-priority-groups-its-a-piece-of-cake/).

• Combination of general settings, shown by the vendor
• Follows from documented behaviour rather than stated outright
• Relies on a setting other rows also use; they may not all work at once

Applies between all groups of the shipment, not selected pairs, and the groups' order along the unit follows their loading order.

The user can give items dangerous-goods classes, and the planner applies segregation between classes without the user defining each pair.

Counts when: A documented hazard-class attribute with built-in segregation rules.

“Groups can also be used in case you need to divide items that should not be mixed, e.g., dangerous products.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/49/prerequisites

No hazard-class attribute; the vendor suggests groups (and the invisible wall) for dangerous goods, which are scored under the composable rows.

Terms: multiple of, batch, lot size.

The user can fix part of a plan (placed items, pre-loaded pallets or whole units) and have the planner complete or re-plan the rest around it.

Counts when: Documentation shows existing placements kept fixed while the planner adds or re-plans the remaining cargo.

“To start loading items manually from scratch , click the hand icon to the left of the “Load” button.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/60/manual-adjustments-of-an-automatically-calculated-load-plan-

The manual editor lets the user place items by hand or 'start loading manually right from the beginning', and drag items from the input list into the space. No source says the planner then loads the rest around items placed by hand, and changed dimensions or restrictions 'still require a manual recalculation of the entire loading plan'.

The user can give an item's exact position as input data, without manual placement in an editor, and the planner loads the rest around it.

Counts when: A documented input field for an item's position (coordinates) that the planner treats as fixed.

The API shipment_input item fields are group_name, description, pieces, width, height, length, total_weight, is_stackable, is_tiltable, is_rotable; no position. Positions appear only in output.

The user can confine an item to a defined region of the unit, such as the front, the rear, one side or a zone.

Counts when: A documented per-item (or per-class) region, zone or location rule the planner respects.

Only indirect: priority group 1 is loaded first and sits deepest (front wall); with the invisible wall each group gets a section in group order. No region can be assigned to an item.

The user can keep items out of a defined region of the unit (for example the first metre at the door, or a central aisle).

Counts when: A documented rule that keeps an item, or all items, out of a region of a unit.

“Of course, the space can also be reduced to specific scenarios, such as when you need to use the end of the vehicle for additional cargo.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/1619/how-to-create-a-load-plan-for-oversized-cargo

“Loading Size – usable CargoSpace size can now be adjusted for each Shipment. It can be made smaller or even bigger”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/release-notes/page/7/

• Only in some editions, plans, methods or equipment types

Per-shipment loading size keeps all items out of a strip at the end, top or side of the space. It cannot exclude an interior region (such as a central aisle) or apply to specific items only.

The user can choose the direction in which the planner fills the unit (for example front to back, bottom to top or side to side).

Counts when: A documented setting with at least two fill directions or fill patterns.

“When loading cargo into containers or trucks, the software loads the container from the front to the back.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/59/loading-pallets

Fixed: trucks and containers front wall to back, largest first; pallets bottom-up in layers. The algorithm is chosen by space type, not by the user. The definition note says a single fixed order fails.

The user can make the planner cover the floor before stacking, for a whole plan or for specific items.

Counts when: A documented floor-first, spread or floor-to-ceiling strategy.

“Please note that EasyCargo primarily stacks the items up heightwise in order to use as little floor space of the cargo space as possible. To prevent this, you can either set the items as non-stackable (settings on item type level), adjust the load plan manually, or divide the items into groups, and disable the stacking of groups.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/61/how-to-change-the-order-of-loading-using-priority-groups

The user can require clearance around items: a gap between all units, or extra space around a specific item.

Counts when: A documented gap or clearance setting (plan-wide or per item) that the planner leaves empty.

Only a gap under the ceiling via loading size (see equipment-height-cap); no gap between items.

The planner makes sure every item is backed in the loading direction (and, if the user asks, sideways) by a wall or another item, so it cannot shift.

Counts when: A documented check that each item rests against the wall or another item, lengthwise and/or laterally.

The vendor tells users the load 'must be secured properly to prevent it from moving during transport' (help article 1176); no planner check.

The planner never exceeds the maximum payload of a unit, including a pallet's maximum load.

Counts when: A documented maximum-weight input per unit that the planner enforces.

“When planning the transport of very heavy items, it is possible that with the standard calculation settings, only part of the shipment will be loaded, even though the free space will not be fully used. If you change the Weight limit settings to Ignore weight limits when loading, the load may fit into the selected cargo space, but the vehicle could be overloaded.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/1176/how-to-work-with-the-weight-of-a-shipment

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/58/weight-distribution

Per cargo space max load up to 99 t (since May 2025); per-shipment Respect/Ignore toggle; Respect is switched off automatically above 10,000 items. Applies to pallets too.

Each compartment, deck or part of a unit can have its own weight limit, which the planner respects.

The user can set a maximum load for each axle group, and the planner does not produce a plan that exceeds it.

Counts when: Documentation stating that axle limits are respected while the plan is built (not only calculated afterwards).

“EasyCargo automatically calculates the optimal pallet count while respecting space and axle load constraints.”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/blog/how-to-optimize-pallet-loading/

“If you turn on Shift loaded items to mass center in the adjacent menu, the calculation is adjusted, which can lead to loading more items even within the specified weight limits that would be exceeded with the default settings.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/1176/how-to-work-with-the-weight-of-a-shipment

Not counted: the product reports this, but the documentation does not show the planner keeps to it.

Per-axle maximum loads are documented inputs, and the per-shipment 'Respect weight limits' toggle is documented. Enforcement of the axle limits in particular is stated outright only in marketing blogs ('respecting ... axle load constraints'; 'will help you both with the optimization of the load plan and axle weights', https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/blog/how-to-load-a-truck/). Help-centre tutorial 1176 implies it: shifting to the mass centre lets more items load 'within the specified weight limits', which could only change axle loads, not the total. Other wording points to verification only: the homepage lists 'Verify weight distribution compliance with permitted limits' and separates 'net weight is respected' from axle 'calculation', and the handbook shows red arrows 'In case the weight limit is not respected' (p.25). Same 10,000-item switch-off as payload.

The axle model accepts three or more axle groups on one vehicle, each with its own position and limit.

Counts when: A documented axle input that allows at least three groups per vehicle.

“Then, for each axle of your vehicle, enter the following dimensions: the distance from the front of the trailer, the tare weight, and the maximum load capacity.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/1176/how-to-work-with-the-weight-of-a-shipment

“Flatbed trailers with 1, 2 and 3 axles ... Trucks with semitrailers: 1, 2 and 3 axles ... Trucktors with 2 and 3 axles”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/

Each axle has its own distance, tare and maximum load; predefined units have up to 3 axles, and a tractor-plus-semitrailer combination carries both units' axles. No hard upper count is stated for custom spaces. The model feeds the axle report; whether it constrains the plan is unresolved (see weight-axle-limits).

The axle calculation includes the empty vehicle's own weight on each axle.

Counts when: A documented tare-per-axle, empty-axle-load or tare centre-of-gravity input used in the axle calculation.

“Then, for each axle of your vehicle, enter the following dimensions: the distance from the front of the trailer, the tare weight, and the maximum load capacity.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/1176/how-to-work-with-the-weight-of-a-shipment

“When the correct dimensions , empty per axle weights , and proper limits for truck and trailer are filled in, then weight distribution can be verified in accordance with the regulations .”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/journal/cargo-spaces-for-north-america-and-australia-have-just-arrived/

Tare per axle is an input; the axle arrows also show 'the minimal weight of an empty cargo space' (2019 journal).

The axle calculation includes the towing unit: the load on a semi-trailer's kingpin (or on a drawbar) is passed to the tractor's axles.

Counts when: Documentation that coupling load is transferred to the towing vehicle's axles.

“If you want to use a semi-trailer, it is recommended to choose a truck to go with it. This is the only way to correctly determine the axle loads and the weight distribution of the load. It is possible to complete the load without a truck. However, the load on the kingpin will not be distributed to the truck axles”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/893/work-with-cargo-spaces

“Notification when Truck – Semitrailer combination seems to be incompatible”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/release-notes/

Semitrailers and flatbeds; kingpin load passed to the attached truck's axles. A Feb 2023 release note mentions a semitrailer/flatbed 'maximal pressure on a kingpin'.

The planner can take axle and gross limits from a chosen jurisdiction or region (including axle-spacing rules and trip permits) rather than from values typed per vehicle.

Counts when: A documented region or jurisdiction setting that supplies legal limits.

Limits are typed per vehicle. The 2019 journal refers users to an external site for state axle regulations; the drayage blog's 'for whatever state you need' line gives no mechanism.

The user can set a permitted range for the sideways position of the load's centre of gravity (left/right balance), and the planner keeps within it.

Counts when: A documented lateral centre-of-gravity range, or maximum left/right difference, that the planner enforces.

The axle view lets the user 'check the balance of the right and left sides' (report only); mass-centre shift also centres laterally. No bound can be set.

The planner can improve weight distribution as a goal rather than a limit: moving the load's centre of gravity toward the centre, or evening out axle loads.

Counts when: A documented option that shifts or arranges the load for balance without a hard bound.

“You can see that the load has been moved so that its center of gravity is the same as the center of gravity of the cargo space, which also leads to a better load balance.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/1176/how-to-work-with-the-weight-of-a-shipment

The user can set an order among items or groups, and the planner places earlier ones deeper in the unit (further from the door).

Counts when: A documented user-set sequence (list order, sequence number or group order) that the planner follows when placing.

“(Priority) Groups enable you to decide in which order the items will be loaded into the cargo space. Items in Group 1 will be loaded first , followed by the second group, then comes the third group, etc.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/61/how-to-change-the-order-of-loading-using-priority-groups

“In EasyCargo, the logic is simple: Group 1 goes into the truck FIRST. This means Group 1 will be placed deepest in the cargo space.”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/journal/do-you-need-to-load-or-unload-the-cargo-gradually-with-priority-groups-its-a-piece-of-cake/

Up to 50 ordered groups; group 1 deepest (front wall). Without groups the built-in order is largest items first. Order is by group, not per item.

When not everything fits, the user can decide by priority which items are loaded and which are left out.

Counts when: A documented priority that controls which items are loaded first or dropped.

“Respect separation: This is the standard setting. We finish loading Group 1 completely before touching Group 2.”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/journal/do-you-need-to-load-or-unload-the-cargo-gradually-with-priority-groups-its-a-piece-of-cake/

• Follows from documented behaviour rather than stated outright
• Relies on a setting other rows also use; they may not all work at once

When space runs out, the group loaded first is the one that gets space first. A blog on choosing 'which items get shipped and which stay' points to priority groups as the answer (https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/blog/how-to-calculate-a-containers/). The same priority also fixes position (deeper = earlier).

The user can mark items as optional (fill items), so that they are loaded only into space left after all required items.

Counts when: A documented optional or fill-item flag.

Manual only: the '+' icon lets the user add more items of a type 'if there is room for it' (handbook p.19).

Terms: optional, fill item, filler, if space, extra items.

The user can assign items to delivery stops, and the planner places each stop's items nearer the door than the items for later stops.

Counts when: A documented stop or destination attribute with a load rule that orders stops along the unit.

“Priority groups influence the order in which items are placed in the load plan and, therefore, are useful if you need to load or unload cargo sequentially during transport.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/96/determining-the-loading-order-through-priority-groups

“In EasyCargo, the logic is simple: Group 1 goes into the truck FIRST. This means Group 1 will be placed deepest in the cargo space.”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/journal/do-you-need-to-load-or-unload-the-cargo-gradually-with-priority-groups-its-a-piece-of-cake/

Stops are expressed as named priority groups; the documentation maps group order to position along the unit (deepest to door). Within a group the default largest-first order applies.

The planner guarantees that no item for a later stop is in front of or on top of an item for an earlier stop, so each stop unloads without moving other goods.

Counts when: Documentation stating that items of later stops never block earlier stops (front or above), as a hard rule.

“Split with an invisible wall: Imagine a vertical wall between your groups. It keeps them totally separate, like they are in different rooms.”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/journal/do-you-need-to-load-or-unload-the-cargo-gradually-with-priority-groups-its-a-piece-of-cake/

“The latter setting also divides the cargo space into separate sections , each of which contains one priority group.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/97/advanced-priority-groups-settings-

• Follows from documented behaviour rather than stated outright
• Relies on a setting other rows also use; they may not all work at once

The default 'Respect separation' is soft: later groups may stack on earlier ones and 'an item may overlap too much with an item from the previous group'. 'No stacking of priority groups' blocks the above direction only. The invisible wall gives hard sections.

The user can set how far one stop's goods may overlap the next stop's along the unit's length.

Counts when: A documented overlap or mixing distance between stops or sequences.

“Sometimes, an item may overlap too much with an item from the previous group. In that case, we recommend using one of the following settings.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/97/advanced-priority-groups-settings-

Only qualitative choices: respect separation (overlap allowed), no stacking, invisible wall (no overlap). No overlap distance.

The user can build a load on a pallet, with the deck height counted and a maximum total height that includes the deck.

Counts when: Documentation of a pallet as a loading space with deck height and total height limit.

“Under the Cargo spaces tab, you can find pallets - there are standard types of pallets available (such as EPAL 1, 2, 3, 6, or US pallets), which you can add to favorites, customize, or even create completely new ones to your liking.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/59/loading-pallets

“You can also adjust the height at which the pallet can be loaded at your discretion.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/1619/how-to-create-a-load-plan-for-oversized-cargo

Not counted: part of the pass condition is not shown; only reachable by manual work or off-label use.

A pallet is a box-shaped cargo space with a load height and a maximum load. No deck-height field is documented, so a total-height limit that includes the deck has to be worked out by the user (data prepared outside the tool).

For a single item type, the planner generates the layer pattern and number of layers for a pallet (Hi/Ti).

Counts when: Documentation of automatic single-item pallet pattern generation.

“Therefore, the algorithm proceeds in layers from the bottom of the pallet upwards. Any forthcoming restrictions are taken into account when loading pallets such as stackability, tiltability, or maximum pallet load.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/59/loading-pallets

“In the image above, you can also notice how the item is rotated as needed using different loading patterns for the best possible use of space.”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/journal/how-to-load-a-pallet/

One item type per pallet; identical layers; one pattern returned (no alternatives). Added May 2022.

The user can steer the pallet pattern: choose a pattern style (block, pinwheel, interlocked), supply a saved pattern, fix the number of cases per pallet, or rotate alternate layers.

Counts when: At least one documented control over the pattern the planner builds.

The algorithm picks the pattern itself; the vendor's blog posts on column vs interlocking stacking are general guidance with no setting.

The planner builds pallets that carry several different item types.

Counts when: Documentation of automatic mixed-item pallet building.

“So far, you can only load one type of item (that is, items of the same dimensions, weight, and restrictions) at a time and each layer is loaded on the pallet in the same way as the previous layers.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/59/loading-pallets

“We plan to improve the algorithm so that it can load different types of items and, last but not least, to be able to optimally load loaded pallets into the selected cargo space.”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/journal/how-to-load-a-pallet/

Mixed items on a pallet space fall back to the standard front-to-back algorithm, so mixed pallets are not built in layers.

The user can allow cargo to overhang the pallet edge by up to a set distance.

Counts when: A documented pallet overhang allowance with a limit.

“However, if you increase the overlap on the shorter side of the pallet by 40 centimeters, which is 20 centimeters on each side, you can fit 4 boxes in each layer on the pallet.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/1619/how-to-create-a-load-plan-for-oversized-cargo

“By the way, it’s possible to create overhangs even for a pallet.”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/journal/how-to-load-a-pallet/

How it is done with general settings

1. Select a pallet cargo space (https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/59/loading-pallets). 2. In Loading Calculation Settings, enlarge the loading size in length and/or width by the allowed overhang (https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/1619/how-to-create-a-load-plan-for-oversized-cargo). 3. Load; the planner packs within the enlarged footprint (same source).

• Combination of general settings, shown by the vendor

The limit is the enlarged footprint. Growth is described as split equally on both sides in the example.

The user can control where the load sits on the pallet deck: centred, or within a set distance inside the edge.

Counts when: A documented centre-load or underhang (inset) setting.

The vendor lists loading built pallets into a cargo space as a future plan (May 2022 journal); nothing later shows it delivered.

A built pallet or packed carton can be carried into a later vehicle plan as an item with its actual size and weight, without re-entering them.

Counts when: Documentation of saving a pallet or carton result as a loadable item, or of assigning a built pallet to a vehicle.

“EasyCargo offers an alternative solution where you create your own cargo space with pallet dimensions, which you fill with cargo items. You can then use the pallet as a cargo item and load it into a container or truck.”

The user can trade calculation time for plan quality (for example a time limit, search depth, quality level or fast mode).

Counts when: A documented run-time or quality control.

“When calculating the final plan, the algorithm always looks for better and better ways to load everything. For standard loads, the whole process takes a few seconds, for loads with an extremely large number of items, the whole process can take a bit longer. However, if you don’t want to wait or you are satisfied with the current result, you can stop the calculation at any time.”

• Only in some editions, plans, methods or equipment types

Documented only for the pallet algorithm: an anytime search the user can stop. There is no time-limit or quality setting, and nothing on reproducibility.

The planner returns several alternative plans (for example one per strategy or per candidate equipment) for the user to compare.

Counts when: Documentation of multiple solutions produced in one run.

Only by hand: re-run with other settings, or compare with 'Ignore separation' ('giving you a quick comparison against your prioritized load plan').

The user can write a rule that selects items by a condition on an attribute (for example all items over 500 kg) and applies a constraint to them.

Counts when: A documented rule mechanism that selects items by an attribute condition.

Constraints are three per-item booleans plus group settings; no condition-based selection.

Terms: rule, rule engine, condition, attribute, custom field, user-defined, script, plug-in, callback, matrix, class, objective, weight, priority, soft, hard, preference.

The user can define item classes and a matrix of which class may be stacked on which.

Counts when: A documented class code per item and a class-to-class stacking matrix.

“If you want to prevent group overlap, use the "No stacking of priority groups allowed" or the "Split of priority groups with a invisible wall" command. The former setting prevents groups from stacking.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/97/advanced-priority-groups-settings-

“Groups can also be used in case you need to divide items that should not be mixed, e.g., dangerous products.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/49/prerequisites

How it is done with general settings

1. Use priority groups as classes: assign each item type to a group (https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/61/how-to-change-the-order-of-loading-using-priority-groups). 2. Select 'No stacking of priority groups allowed' so items stack only on items of their own group (https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/97/advanced-priority-groups-settings-). 3. Load.

• Combination of general settings, assembled by the auditor from documented parts
• Relies on a setting other rows also use; they may not all work at once

Groups double as the loading order, so the 'class' also fixes position along the unit, and the setting is all-or-nothing for all groups.

The user can define item classes and a matrix of which classes may share a unit.

Counts when: A documented class code per item and a class-to-class compatibility matrix for sharing a unit.

The plan gives the position and orientation of every loaded unit, individually or as blocks with counts along each axis.

Counts when: Documented coordinates (and orientation or placed dimensions) for each unit or block.

“position | Coordinate | Item position inside CargoSpace. Center of the cargo item. Shipment zero point [0,0,0] is in the front-bottom-center of the used cargo space. | width | double | Actual item size in width respecting the item's rotation”

https://s1.easycargo3d.com/Content/Documentation/Api/v1/index.htm

GET /api/v1/shipment-output-placements/{id}: centre point per loaded item (in_width from centre, in_height from floor, in_length from front) plus placed dimensions. Orientation is implied by the placed dimensions; there is no orientation code. Excel export also carries loaded-item data.

The plan includes step-by-step loading instructions, with a diagram for each step.

Counts when: Documented step-by-step instructions with per-step views.

“After pressing the button with the camera icon, an animation will be generated. This animation will show step-by-step how you can load the cargo”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/1174/sharing-shipments-using-a-basic-report-or-a-stepby-step-report

“with the new report, you will see the individual steps of the loading process, including a legend that shows the name and quantity of each item to be loaded.”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/journal/step-by-step-loading-now-with-a-legend/

The plan lists, for each unit (including each built pallet), which items it holds and how many, and its volume and weight utilisation.

Counts when: Documented per-unit contents and utilisation figures.

“Cargo Summary: Instantly see the total weight , total volume , and percentage of space utilized. Detailed Item List: A full table showing the description , quantity, and dimensions for every item.”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/journal/what-load-plan-report-options-does-easycargo-offer-and-how-to-make-the-most-of-them/

“total_weight double Weight of all loaded cargo items together total_volume double Volume of all loaded cargo items together”

https://s1.easycargo3d.com/Content/Documentation/Api/v1/index.htm

Per report (one per cargo space; overflow produces one report per space). A pallet planned as a cargo space gets the same report; no Hi/Ti figures.

The plan reports the floor length used or left free (loading metres).

Counts when: A documented loading-metre, length-used or end-gap figure.

“As shown in the graphic, the purple number indicates the available loading meters.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/58/weight-distribution

“free_distance | double | Free length from the last cargo item to the back of the cargo space”

https://s1.easycargo3d.com/Content/Documentation/Api/v1/index.htm

The plan lists the items that could not be loaded, with quantities.

Counts when: A documented not-loaded or cut list.

“This number tells you how many items have been loaded (in this case, 2 out of 31 items of this type have been loaded).”

https://bit.ly/ENhandbookver7 (EasyCargo Handbook v7, 15 Jan 2026, PDF) p.18

“In the input list, you can see which items have or have not been loaded”

https://bit.ly/ENhandbookver7 (EasyCargo Handbook v7, 15 Jan 2026, PDF) p.18

Per item type: all / some / none loaded icons plus the loaded count out of the entered count, so the unloaded quantity follows. There is no separate not-loaded report.

The plan states why each unplaced item was not loaded.

Counts when: A documented reason per unplaced item (for example too large, over weight, no space, rule violation).

“When nothing has been loaded because of oversized/overweight cargo items, warning message is displayed”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/release-notes/page/5/

Only a warning when nothing at all could be loaded; per the definition note this fails. The cargo-space info panel turns red when the input exceeds capacity (help article 90), which is not a per-item reason.

The plan reports the load's centre of gravity as a position (lengthwise and sideways).

Counts when: A documented numeric centre-of-gravity output, or numeric offsets from the centre of the space.

“Safety Data: Precise center of gravity (CoG) and axle weight distribution to ensure road stability.”

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/blog/how-to-optimize-pallet-loading/

“The yellow number indicates the longitudinal offset. The green number represents the lateral offset in meters.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/58/weight-distribution

The documentation (help, handbook, API forward_shift/left_shift) gives the distance the load was shifted when centred on the mass centre, and the free metres, but no centre-of-gravity coordinates. Only a 2026 blog claims the report gives the CoG.

The plan reports the load on each axle group and whether it is within its limit.

Counts when: Documented per-axle load figures in the output.

“Each arrow can also display the minimum, current, and maximum possible load on each axle. You can see how much margin you have for a maximum load.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/1176/how-to-work-with-the-weight-of-a-shipment

“In case the weight limit is not respected, the green weight distribution arrows turn into red ones”

https://bit.ly/ENhandbookver7 (EasyCargo Handbook v7, 15 Jan 2026, PDF) p.25

Per axle: min (empty), current and max load, with margin; red for overload, blue for negative (lifting) load; left/right balance. In the app, public link, tablet viewer and print report. Not in the API report.

The plan reports how weight is distributed along the unit's length (per section or per unit length).

Counts when: A documented weight-distribution output along the length.

The weight view shows arrows 'at all important points of the cargo space' (axles, kingpin), not a distribution along the length.

The plan reports gross weight including the equipment's tare (for example for a verified gross mass declaration).

Counts when: A documented gross or total weight that includes tare.

Axle arrows include the empty (tare) load per axle, but no documented gross or total-with-tare figure. The report and API give loaded cargo weight only. A sprinter blog claims alerts for exceeding GVWR, with no documentation.

The plan gives per-stop information: the contents for each stop and a view of the unit at each stop.

Counts when: Documented per-stop summaries or views.

“We can also view individual groups separately in the load plan. Moreover, the groups remain colour-differentiated for clarity.”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/96/determining-the-loading-order-through-priority-groups

“groups array of shipment_report_group Groups with loaded items”

https://s1.easycargo3d.com/Content/Documentation/Api/v1/index.htm

Stops are priority groups: per-group views in the app and per-group loaded items in the report and API. No 'unit after stop n' view is documented.

The planner checks a plan, including one edited by hand, against the item rules and lists any violations.

Counts when: Documented rule validation of an edited or imported plan, with a violations list or warnings.

“please keep in mind that a box can be placed on non-stackable items as well, no constraints are applied when adjusting the load plan manually”

https://help.easycargo3d.com/article/60/manual-adjustments-of-an-automatically-calculated-load-plan-

https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/journal/enhanced-cargo-management-live-updates-and-flexible-box-movement/

The editor blocks collisions (red frame) and the weight arrows update, but item rules are neither enforced nor listed as violations after manual edits.

The plan identifies empty voids above a set size (for example for dunnage or airbags).

Counts when: Documented void or empty-space output.

Only free metres to the end of the space.
