Answer 1

ANSKER Given that, . Key information : Box demension : 12"xio'x6" 0.D. Pallet dimensionn: ue" xu2"x6". 1464 41 / ri ugh up" pallet de suite load

a) The Te Quantity of boxer Quantity an a unit load Along ur' side, pallet sige: up", Box Size = 12" U9 -= A boxea along u8" side. 12 11 Alor 1. Along uz" side, pallet side = 42", Box size = lo". 42 = U2n boxen along us side. Along height, Madinum allowsable height = ug" (Preluding pauer) 10 => 7 boxea on a pallet, along height Total boxca on a pallet (pallet ohit load) - =>uxuxq=u2 boxen on one pallet. alla boxea in a unit load.

1. 3) The number of palleta per trailer load.
