Buy Cargo Directly onto a Trailer

This add-on expands Universal Autoload with the ability to buy complete pallets as well as round and rectangular bales directly for compatible Autoload trailers. Select the desired cargo, choose a quantity, review the total price and confirm the purchase. The selected goods are then loaded automatically using the cargo and stacking systems provided by Universal Autoload.

Features

• Buy and load complete pallets, round bales and rectangular bales.
• The available selection is based on the pallet and bale definitions registered on the current map.
• Orders can be placed in quantities of 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 or 20.
• When several vehicles are attached, the appropriate Universal Autoload trailer can be selected.
• Individual prices and the maximum order total are displayed before confirmation.
• Additional products can be added by reopening the menu after each purchase.
• Any cargo already on the trailer remains in place. You only pay for items that were loaded successfully.
• Loading ends automatically as soon as no suitable space remains.
• Straps are released during loading and secured automatically when the process is complete.
• The keyboard shortcut can be changed and is shown in the F1 control help.

Usage

Pricing

For pallets that are normally available for purchase, the store price is used whenever possible. All other items are priced using the product's base value plus a markup and delivery fee. Prices are shown before the purchase. You must have enough money for the complete order to start the process. If only part of the order can be loaded, you are charged only for the items that were actually delivered.
