b. How to generate high/low pallets to fully use space when all cargo is palletized first

When palletizing all cargo first and then loading into containers, you can generate high/low pallets to better use container space. How is this defined?

Example:

Loading data:

Loading requirements:

1) Height perpendicular to the ground only.

2) Compute how to palletize all cargo and load into a 40 GP, using Asian standard 1100×1100 pallets.

3) Cargo must be palletized in two layers (upper and lower); pallet height is not fixed — high/low pallets are allowed to use space fully.

Choose Two-stage loading.

Basic Information is optional.

Step 1: Click Cargo. Use Excel batch import.

1) Get the template.

2) Fill in the template:

① Copy name, quantity, length/width/height.

② Allow only stand and stand horizontal rotation; disallow others (0).

③ Set "Packing method" = 1 for all.

Save and close.

3) Import from Excel.

Step 2: Container → Add from database → 40GP → Add → close. Set corner castings and reserved sizes; see How to simulate carton expansion and manual placement gaps.

Pallet-into-container: set height reserved size to 10 cm (this absorbs the corner-casting size).

Step 3: Intermediate container. Use 1100×1100 Asian standard pallet. Add from database → check 1100×1100 → Add → close. Set the maximum placement height. Because the user wants two layers and pallet height is not fixed, set the max placement height higher than half the container height — try different values; this case uses 150 cm.

Note: if the desired pallet is not in the database, Add directly → Flat pallet and maintain it.

Step 4: Loading rules. Because high/low pallets are wanted, set Intermediate-packaging generation method to "Dynamically determine pallet height based on container height".

Step 5: Intermediate-package loading rules — keep defaults.

Click Auto-optimize. The batch uses 40 1100×1100 pallets and one 40GP. The 3D view shows high/low pallets, meeting the requirement.
