  Solution:
  
  Verify Handling Unit Volumes: Check the volume of each handling unit involved in the loading process. Ensure that the total volume of the handling units meets or exceeds the required loading volume.
  Adjust Load Requirements: If the loading volume requirement is too high, consider adjusting it to match the available handling units.
