What is ElCargo?+
ElCargo is a 3D container-loading and cargo-planning tool. It shows importers, exporters, and logistics teams exactly how their boxes and pallets fit inside a shipping container, with an auto-load algorithm and shareable stuffing plans.
How do I plan how boxes fit inside a shipping container?+
Add your boxes and pallets with their dimensions and weights, pick a container, and let ElCargo place them automatically in an interactive 3D view. You can rearrange anything by hand and see the loaded space, weight, and stability update instantly.
How do I calculate container load capacity?+
ElCargo works out how much of a container your cargo fills — by volume and by weight — as you add items, and warns you before you exceed a container's weight limit. No spreadsheets or manual maths.
Can I create a container stuffing plan I can share with my team?+
Yes. Every plan can span multiple containers, tracks weight per container, and produces a full loading summary you can share with a link so your warehouse or freight forwarder loads it exactly as planned.
How do I get started with ElCargo?+
Create an account, add your boxes and pallets, and build your first 3D loading plan. ElCargo is a subscription service — sign in to choose a plan and start loading.
Which container sizes does ElCargo support?+
ElCargo supports the standard dry containers — 20-foot, 40-foot, and 40-foot high-cube — and you can also define a custom container with your own dimensions and weight limit.
Can ElCargo handle pallets as well as loose boxes?+
Yes. Build reusable pallet templates, stack boxes onto them, and load whole pallets into a container — or mix palletised and loose cargo in the same plan.
Does ElCargo track cargo weight and container weight limits?+
Yes. Every item carries a weight, and ElCargo totals it per container against the payload limit, warning you before you go over and flagging a load that isn't balanced.
Can I share a loading plan with my warehouse or freight forwarder?+
Yes. Each plan has a shareable link and a clear loading summary, so whoever loads the container sees exactly what goes where.
Do I need to install anything to use ElCargo?+
No. ElCargo runs entirely in your web browser — the 3D view, the auto-load, and your saved plans — with nothing to download or install.
