How to better plan the load? Learn with load planning videos

Optimizing your loading space doesn’t just save transport costs; it ensures your cargo remains safe and secure throughout its journey. We understand that diving into professional software can feel overwhelming at first. This guide is designed as a step-by-step roadmap, guiding you through your first settings adjustment to mastering advanced optimization features with our latest video tutorials.

1. A Smooth Start with User Interface and Basic Settings

Before diving into complex algorithms, you need to get comfortable with the EasyCargo workspace. Learn how to navigate camera angles, switch between Metric and Imperial units, and manage your account settings.

2. Controlling the 3D Load Plan Visualization

Visualizing your shipment from every angle is crucial for a perfect load plan. This video teaches you the essential mouse controls and keyboard shortcuts to rotate, zoom, and inspect every corner of your cargo space.

3. Efficient Cargo Item Management

EasyCargo’s strength lies in its ability to handle hundreds of items. Learn how to enter cargo data manually or import large lists from Excel, and how to define constraints like tiltability, stackability, and rotatability.

4. Selecting the Right Vehicle and Cargo Space

Every shipment needs the right “home.” Choose from our extensive library of standard containers, trucks, and trailers, or customize your own vehicle dimensions to ensure stellar accuracy in your simulations.

5. Determining the Loading Order through Priority Groups

For situations where you need multi-stop deliveries, the items to be unloaded last must be loaded first. “Priority Groups” allow you to control exactly which items stay in the front or in the back of the cargo space.

6. One-Click, Auto-Load Your Entire Shipment

This is the “heart” of EasyCargo. Once you’ve entered your items and set your constraints, simply hit the “Load” button. EasyCargo’s algorithm instantly processes thousands of possibilities to give you the most efficient loading plan in seconds.

7. Fine-Tune with Manual Load Plan Adjustments

Sometimes, the human touch is needed. EasyCargo allows you to manually drag, drop, move, or rotate items directly within the 3D space to achieve a plan that perfectly matches your specific operational needs.

8. Monitoring Weight Distribution and Axle Loads

A great load plan must be safe. EasyCargo helps you track how weight is distributed across the vehicle’s axles in real-time, preventing axle overloads and ensuring vehicle stability on the road.

9. Exporting Reports and Sharing Public Links

Communication with the whole team is key. Export professional PDF loading reports or share a public link that allows anyone to view the interactive 3D plan on any device without the need to log in.
