The floor loading of a cargo compartment is 732 kg/m². Of the options listed, which is the smallest pallet size that is acceptable for loading a box of 806 kg?

  • A

    1.2 m x 1.2 m

  • B

    0.8 m x 0.8 m

  • C

    1.0 m x 1.0 m

  • D

    1.4 m x 1.4 m

Floor loading: each square metre can carry 732 kg
Loading box: 806 kg = we need more than 1 square metre

This eliminates 2 answers immediately, without touching the calculator...

  • 0.8 m x 0.8 m - too small
  • 1.0 m x 1.0 m - too small

To calculate the minimum size of the pallet that can load 806 kg = 806 / 732 = 1.1 m2

Looking at the remaining answer options:

  • 1.2 m x 1.2 m = 1.44 m2 - meets the requirements
  • 1.4 m x 1.4 m = 1.96 m2 - meets the requirements but is too big

Smallest pallet size that can be used: 1.2 m x 1.2 m
