Loading spaces
Types of loading spaces and splitting them into parts
Goodloading supports several kinds of loading space. Each one is defined through the “type” parameter, which can take any of the following values:
- “vehicle” – a truck (the default value)
- “sea” – a sea container
- air containers (2 types):
– “air x” – a container with two slanted sides
– “air y” – a container with one slanted side - “pallet” – a pallet
Every loading space can be divided into a maximum of 2 parts. This is useful, for example, when loading a combination unit, such as vehicles or sea containers. See Example 2: – Parts within loading spaces.
A detailed description of the parameters that define a loading space can be found in the chapter Loading space data (loadingSpaces)

Parts within loading spaces
A loading space can consist of up to 2 parts. For a space of the vehicle type, this corresponds to a combination unit (a tractor with a trailer).

Loading methods
There are 4 loading methods available, controlled by the “loadingSide” parameter, which can take the following values:
- “back” [default]
- “top”
- “left”
- “right”
The parameter applies to a specific defined part “part” of the loading space, so it can be set differently for each defined part.
In the drawings, the plane through which loading is meant to take place is highlighted in yellow.
