Case Study: South Carolina Construction Company eliminates overloading with Trimble's LOADRITE X2350

South Carolina Construction Company Eliminates Overloading with LOADRITE X2350

A South Carolina construction company operating the Campbell pit near Summerville extracts sand and loads it into haul trucks with a CAT 330 excavator. Because there are no nearby weighbridges, they could not accurately measure truck payloads, resulting in costly over‑ and under‑loading, extra trips, fines, and increased liability if overloaded trucks were involved in an accident.

The company installed LOADRITE X2350 on‑board scales and a cab printer to weigh each bucket and produce time‑stamped load dockets. The system eliminated overloading, allowed trucks to be filled to legal capacity (reducing trips), prints operator‑identified records for accountability, and has proven accurate to within about 1% over 8,000 tonnes—helping win new customers who require precise weights.
