Draw a 3-D sketch of the pallet unit load on a wood pallet. Include dimensions for a box and the pallet unit load.
Key information:
Box dimension: 12” x 10” x 6” O.D.
Pallet dimensions: 48” x 42” x 6”
Constraints: (1) No pallet overhang
(2) Pallet unit load <= 48” high, including the pallet, for storage in a rack system
Trailer dimensions: 53’ long x 8’ 6” wide (b/w the hinges) x 9’ high
Deliverables:
- Draw a 3-D sketch of the pallet unit load on a wood pallet. Include dimensions for a box and the pallet unit load.
- Show your calculations for the quantity of boxes in a unit load.
- Show your calculations for the number of pallets per trailer load.
- Show your calculations for the quantity of boxes per trailer load.
