Introduction to Brimload T1

What T1 Helps Answer

Brimload T1 plans how one carton type fits into a single loading space. That space can be the full or remaining interior of a container, the area above a pallet, or a larger box that holds smaller cartons.

Enter the length, width, and height of the loading space and the carton. T1 calculates a plan for the maximum quantity and shows it in a 3D viewer.

Full Container Load

Find the maximum carton count for a known container space.

LCL or Fixed Quantity

Set a fixed carton count and find the minimum height, width, or length needed.

Package Design

Test carton-size tolerances or deformation allowances before locking in a packaging design.

3D Viewer

The loading plan is broken into groups, listed alongside the view. Use the checkboxes to show or hide each group, drag to rotate the view for a full 360° look, and use the mouse wheel to zoom.

A green triangle marks the length side of each carton and a white triangle marks the width side, so you can read the orientation of every loaded group.

What-if Controls

Press the up or down arrow key in a number field to nudge it. That makes it quick to see how a change to the loading space or the carton size changes the result: clearance, tolerance, or an alternative package design.

Fixed Quantity and LCL Planning

When the carton quantity is fixed, such as in an LCL shipment, enter the quantity and choose whether to load for minimum height, width, or length.

You can also vary the carton quantity to see how the loading pattern evolves, then settle on a practical shipment size.

T1 videos

Introduction · Brimload T1 in two minutes · 2:09

Enter the sizes, read the plan

0:59

Six numbers in, and the maximum count, the volume fill and the 3D loading plan come back on their own.

Groups and orientation in 3D

0:48

The plan is drawn in groups you can hide and show; green and white marks tell you which way every carton lies.

What-if with the arrow keys

0:49

Nudge a size with the arrow keys, lower the space height, shave a carton dimension, and watch the plan adapt each time.

Edit the plan: pick a stack and resize it

0:43

Tap a carton to select its stack; the grips choose how much of it, the orange squares add or take away whole rows.

Edit the plan: move, turn, and add cartons

1:06

Read placement capacities, add at a plus, move with the disk, and choose a pictured orientation.

Edit the plan: build a pallet unit load by hand

1:34

Start from an empty pallet and hand-build an interlocked load - each layer turned like brickwork, a pattern the automatic plan does not draw.

Edit the plan: fill around fixed cartons

0:52

Keep the cartons you placed, fill the supported space around them, and undo the whole fill in one step.

Share the edited plan

0:30

One link carries your edited loading plan; whoever opens it sees your plan, and can still restore the computed one.

A fixed quantity for LCL

0:51

Specify the count of an LCL lot, load it toward the front, the bottom or the right, and read the space it needs.

Upright only, or six orientations

0:49

The one switch that changes the count most: let cartons travel on their side, or keep every one this way up.

Units, language, Share, and Deeper search

0:55

Millimetres or inches, the interface language, a Share link that restores everything, and the Deeper search that looks longer for a better plan.
