What ist logistics?

Logistics in general is the concept of executing the customer-oriented flow of materials and designing the accompanying flow of information in parallel.

How to calculate loading meters (LDM)?

To calculate loading metres, the length is multiplied by the width of the package and divided by the lorry width (2.4 m). This gives the formula L x W in m / 2.4 m. For example, a Euro pallet (1.2 x 0.8 m) has 0.4 ldm (1.2 x 0.8 / 2.4m).

This does not take into account stowage loss, which is necessary in practice to secure the load. Therefore, there may be deviations in the calculation. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the respective contact person.
