A Trimble Case Study
Paengaroa Sands Ltd was awarded a contract to supply fill for a 23 km highway near Tauranga but had no way to verify truck payloads on site. They estimated loads and relied on a weigh-bridge 12 km away—after a police checkpoint—so over- or under-loading couldn’t be detected until trucks had already traveled and risked fines, making the job risky to bid for.
LOADRITE fitted X-2350 onboard scales to the excavators, delivering real-time payload data and printed dockets. This ensured trucks were loaded to maximum legal capacity without overloading, reduced trips (and haul costs) on the 50 km round trips, simplified invoicing, provided portable technology, and delivered roughly a tenfold return on investment.
