Calculates vehicle fill

The calculator now covers 93 models from its range of plastic returnable transit packaging (RTP) and all vehicle sizes with load lengths from a 5 to 13.6m standard trailer.

The device calculates the maximum number of containers that can be carried on both delivery and return journeys, so companies can save money and reduce carbon emissions by cutting the number of journeys required. 

Users simply enter their vehicle's length and height, select pallet size and container model, and the tool calculates the number of pallet spaces per vehicle and the number of containers per pallet – both when full and stacked for delivery and when empty and when nested or folded for the return trip.

Damian Gilbertson, sales director UK & Eire, at Schoeller Allibert, commented: “The introduction of the enhanced vehicle fill calculator confirms our dedication to providing customers with the most efficient, cost-saving and eco-friendly use of our extensive product range. We are dedicated to providing the best service and the easy-to-use calculator will help customers understand how to maximise their vehicle use and minimise the number of journeys.”
