LDM Calculator
Loading meters help estimate transport space, but Loggy goes further by showing how the cargo can actually be arranged.
LDM alone does not prove the load will work
Loading meters are useful for quoting, but they do not show stacking, mixed dimensions or awkward unused space. Loggy helps connect the estimate to a visual loading plan.
From LDM estimate to layout
Add shipment units
Enter dimensions and quantities for pallets, cartons or other cargo.
Choose the vehicle space
Check how the units occupy floor length and overall loading space.
Review the plan
Use the 3D layout and report to confirm the shipment is practical.
LDM calculator features for freight planning
Dimension-based planning
Work from real cargo sizes instead of only a single LDM number.
3D layout check
Confirm whether the estimated space creates a workable arrangement.
Excel import
Start from existing freight lists and reduce manual entry.
PDF output
Share the final load arrangement with warehouse or carrier teams.
Space utilization view
Identify empty space that a simple LDM estimate can miss.
Ready for daily planning
Loggy keeps cargo data, visual checks and plan export in one loading workflow.
Use cases
Freight forwarders
Support quoting with a practical view of required loading space.
Manufacturers
Check how different packaging sizes affect loading meter usage.
Logistics teams
Connect planning, pricing and loading execution in one workflow.
FAQ
What does LDM mean?
LDM stands for loading meter, a measure of floor length occupied by cargo in a vehicle.
Is an LDM calculator enough for loading?
It is a useful estimate, but a visual plan is safer when cargo has mixed dimensions or handling constraints.
Can Loggy show the load after calculating space?
Yes. Loggy focuses on turning space estimates into a 3D loading arrangement.
Can I calculate LDM for palletized freight?
Yes. Pallet dimensions and quantities can be used as the basis for the load plan.
Can I share the calculated result?
Yes. A PDF report helps communicate the final plan to other stakeholders.
How do I calculate LDM for pallets?
LDM is based on the floor length occupied by cargo, but pallet dimensions and mixed loads should also be checked visually before loading.
Turn LDM into a load plan
Estimate space, validate the layout and share clear loading instructions.
