Fleet Loading Capacity (Volume & Payload)

Know exactly how much every vehicle can carry — before you load it.

Set volume and payload limits once on each vehicle model, let every vehicle inherit them automatically, and fine-tune per unit whenever reality differs. Fleet Loading Capacity turns “how much fits on this truck?” from a guess into a number your team can trust — the capacity foundation your cargo, booking, and trip-planning workflows build on.

Fleet Loading Capacity (Volume & Payload)

Key Features

🛡

Capacity defaults on every vehicle model

Define warning and maximum thresholds for both volume (m³) and payload (kg) directly on a vehicle model, alongside a Can Transport Goods flag. Set them once on the model’s Loading Parameters group — and optionally surface them as columns on the Models list — so every vehicle you later link to that model starts with sensible, ready-to-use capacity defaults instead of blank fields.

🚚

Per-vehicle capacity that inherits, then adapts

Each vehicle carries its own volume and payload figures on its Loading Parameters group. Pick a model and the capacity values copy straight in — no re-typing. When a specific unit differs from the standard (a lighter chassis, a refit, a modified body), simply override the value on that vehicle. The figures stay stored on the vehicle record and remain editable at any time, so inheritance saves you effort without locking you in.

🏢

A company-wide capacity foundation

A company-level Enforce Load Capacity switch (on by default) tells capacity-aware modules across your Fleet stack — trip, booking, and planning — whether over-capacity vehicle assignments should be blocked. This module ships the shared capacity data and the company switch that downstream apps read, giving your whole fleet one consistent source of truth for what each vehicle can handle.

Benefits

‣

Stop overloading before it happens. When every vehicle and model carries real volume and payload limits, your team plans against actual capacity — not a rough mental estimate. Fewer overloaded trucks means fewer safety risks, fewer fines, and less wear on your fleet.

‣

Configure once, reuse everywhere. Enter capacity figures on a model a single time and every vehicle of that model inherits them automatically. Per-vehicle overrides handle the exceptions, so you get consistency by default and flexibility exactly where you need it — no spreadsheets, no duplicate data entry.

‣

A foundation the rest of your fleet builds on. Loading Capacity is designed to underpin cargo, booking, and trip-planning modules. Set your capacity data up here and every capacity-aware workflow you add later reads from the same, already-correct numbers — so you invest once and benefit across the whole system.

Set default capacity on a vehicle model

Define default limits on a vehicle model — Can Transport Goods enabled, with Warning Volume 2.7 m³ / Max Volume 5.7 m³ and Warning Payload 3900 kg / Max Payload 5400 kg on the Loading Parameters group.

Inherit capacity, then override per vehicle

A new vehicle inherits its model’s capacity the moment you pick the model — here Max Payload is overridden to 5200 kg for this specific unit while the other limits stay as inherited from the model.
