Loading meters (LDM) are the standard unit of measurement in road transport to quantify the floor space occupied by cargo on a truck trailer. to standardowa jednostka miary w transporcie drogowym, określająca zajętą przestrzeń na podłodze naczepy.
LDM = (Length in m × Width in m) / 2.4
The divisor 2.4 m corresponds to the usable internal width of a standard trailer. odpowiada wewnętrznej szerokości użytkowej standardowej naczepy.
A standard Euro pallet measures 120 × 80 cm: LDM = (1.20 × 0.80) / 2.4 = 0.40 LDM
For 10 Euro pallets: 0.40 × 10 = 4.00 LDM..
Full Truck Load (FTL) is the preferred transport mode in professional logistics. Dedicated truck, no intermediate stops, maximum speed and cargo safety. For urgent or high-value shipments, FTL is always the best choice. to preferowany tryb transportu w profesjonalnej logistyce. Dedykowana naczepa, brak przeładunków, maksymalna szybkość i bezpieczeństwo towaru. Dla ładunków pilnych lub wartościowych FTL to zawsze najlepszy wybór.
For small loads (under 2.4 LDM), groupage offers an economical alternative by consolidating multiple shipments on the same truck. stanowi ekonomiczną alternatywę, łącząc kilka przesyłek na jednej naczepie.
Loading meters represent the linear metres of floor space occupied on a truck trailer. They are calculated by dividing the cargo footprint by the standard trailer width (2.4 m).
LDM = (Length in m × Width in m) / 2.4. A Euro pallet 120×80 cm occupies 0.40 LDM.
A standard trailer (13.6 m × 2.45 m) holds up to 33 Euro pallets (120×80 cm) on a single tier. Maximum payload: 24,000 kg.
FTL is worthwhile for loads over 6 LDM, urgent, fragile or high-value goods. Groupage is cheaper for small loads (under 2.4 LDM) but with longer delivery times.
