The advantage of correctly palletized cargo is that cargo handling can be mechanized and, provided the pallets fit the container, securing can largely be dispensed with. Provisos are that the pallets are sensibly packed, the dimensions of the packed pallets in the lengthwise and crosswise directions each correspond to fractions of the internal container width, length and height and the pallets are stackable. If these conditions are met, and strictly speaking only if they are, can cargo be described as "fully palletized". Many cargo handling and packing companies offer special terms for fully palletized cargoes.
