Four practical tools to speed up your day-to-day transport decisions: fuel cost, pallet capacity, volume–tonnage conversion and axle load distribution.
Estimate fuel spend, total trip cost and cost per kilometre or per tonne based on distance and average consumption.
Consumption varies with load, route gradient, traffic and weather. Enter the current pump price for fuel.
See how many pallets fit on a single floor level for the given internal trailer dimensions, with the matching loading pattern.
This is a geometric fit with no allowance for gaps or interior fittings; real-world capacity may be 1–2 pallets lower.
Convert volume to weight and back using the density of the product carried. Ideal for tanker and silo trailer planning.
Densities are typical averages and may vary with temperature, moisture and product grade. Loose (poured) bulk density is used for bulk products.
Estimate the load on the kingpin and the axle group from the cargo centre of gravity, using a simple moment model.
This is a simplified moment model; results are approximate and not binding. Verify actual axle loads with a weighbridge and the vehicle approval documents.
These tools are for information only; results are approximate and not binding. Refer to applicable regulations and vehicle documents for exact figures.
