Draw the layout using clear internal dimensions; subtract plate slots and required clearances to find usable space. Compare the result with vehicle or shelf capacity in the actual loading plan.
The carried load is more than product weight. Include cooling plates, inner packaging, dividers and container.
Weigh components separately and record them, or measure the completed load on a suitable scale. Map plate slots, product arrangement and access clearances within usable internal dimensions.
