Pallet Load Distribution Calculator
Compare the three load ratings every pallet is engineered against — dynamic (moving), static (stacked) and racking (beam-supported) — before you size your fleet.
Dynamic, Static & Racking Load Distribution
Compare how a pallet and its cargo are rated across the three handling scenarios every warehouse manages — moving, stacked storage and beam racking. Adjust the model and payload to see utilisation against the manufacturer's published load ratings.
Based on the static rating (5 000 kg) and a gross pallet weight of 1 023 kg.
Pallet + load while being moved by a forklift or pallet jack. The dynamic rating caps the total moving mass.
Pallets stacked stationary on the floor. The bottom pallet carries its own load plus every pallet stacked above it.
Pallet supported on beam racking with an open span underneath. The racking rating caps the uniformly distributed load.
Ratings shown are the manufacturer's published values for uniformly distributed loads. Actual on-site limits depend on load distribution, forklift handling, racking design and ambient temperature — confirm with DRS before committing to a fleet.

Recovered 1,400 lost harvest bins in season one
A citrus export operation was losing an estimated 9% of its 4-way agricultural bin pool each season between packhouse, cold store and port. Replacement spend was eroding margin, and missing bins delayed loading schedules.
DRS financed a refreshed bin pool together with RFID portal infrastructure at the packhouse exit, cold-store gate and port staging area. Tags were financed into the lease so visibility became a monthly operating cost rather than a separate capex project.
"We stopped buying bins to replace bins. The tracking paid for itself before the first season closed."
— Operations Manager, Citrus Export Group
