Loadrite wheel loader scales are successfully being used at waste transfer stations to help make sure that trucks are loaded to their legal payload when they leave the facility.
Under-loading is common practice at waste transfer stations. The average truck leaves the station at around 22 tons, which means they are being under-loaded by about 2.5 tons. As a result, more truck loads are needed to shift the same amount of waste per day, which increases the operating costs.
With a Loadrite scale onboard, the loader operator knows exactly how heavy the material is before it gets loaded onto the truck. The operator can mix heavy C&D (construction and demolition) material with lighter household waste on the truck, and be sure they’re not overloaded.
Install a Loadrite scale on your wheel loader and cut out the guess work. You can also:
Load trucks to their maximum legal weight
Get trucks out faster, because there’s no guess work involved
Eliminate costly overload fines
Reduce wear and tear on equipment
An average sized waste transfer station hauling 2,400 tons per day can potentially save $184,842* per year. That means your Loadrite system could pay for itself in just over 10 days.
