Case Study: Lucas Total Contract Solutions improves waste tracking and truck loading accuracy with Trimble LOADRITE X2350

Keep Track of Contaminated Waste

Lucas Total Contract Solutions faced a challenge tracking excavated material on a project in Adelaide's CBD. With no room for a site weighbridge, they needed an accurate way to measure outgoing tonnage to satisfy their client's volume-matching requirement and the Environmental Protection Agency's audit of contaminated waste. To solve this, they partnered with Trimble and implemented the LOADRITE X2350 onboard scales on their excavator.

Trimble's LOADRITE X2350 provided an accurate on-the-go weighing solution, eliminating discrepancies when converting material volume to weight. The system delivered accuracy within 2-3%, with one month showing only a 0.8% variance against the disposal site's weighbridge. This allowed Lucas Total Contract Solutions to meet all audit requirements, optimize truck loads to maximize tonnage, and provided a verifiable tracking system for the over 70,000 tons of material handled.
