Loads better weighing with Loadrite

Loadrite global marketing communications manager Simon Rush says the New Zealand firm’s on-board weighing systems for construction machines have been designed with operators in mind. “They take raw data and turn it into something really easy to understand,” said Rush. “Operators are only using one button 90% of the time, which means they are more likely to take up using them.” The Loadrite X-Weigh 2350, being exhibited at INTERMAT, can track overall tonnes and tonnes per hour throughout a construction proje

Loadrite's Simon Rush with the on-board weighing systems
RSS5004 Loadrite global marketing communications manager Simon Rush says the New Zealand firm’s on-board weighing systems for construction machines have been designed with operators in mind.

“They take raw data and turn it into something really easy to understand,” said Rush.

“Operators are only using one button 90% of the time, which means they are more likely to take up using them.”

The Loadrite X-Weigh 2350, being exhibited at INTERMAT, can track overall tonnes and tonnes per hour throughout a construction project, ensuring that each truckload moved on site is accurately loaded and recorded.

“The systems allow machine operators to have visibility of what’s happening on site and managers can receive an email breakdown of what’s happening on one site or across a number of sites,” said Rush.

“These systems are a total solution for a quarry, a mine or demolition.”

The company is also showcasing at INTERMAT a number of its on-board weighing systems, including its L-Series 2180 system for wheel loaders; and its C-Series conveyor belt scale.

“Business is pretty good just now,” said Rush. “We are dominant in Australasia, doing well in North America and China is a good market for us. We’ve just established a wholly-owned firm entity in China under the name Loadrite China.”

    Breaker specialist Montabert has increased its budget offering with a new two-speed unit and additions to its Blue Line. By restricting the speed choice to two, the new V3500 breaker (suitable for carriers from 35 to 60tonnes) is around 20% cheaper than its full-spec multi-speed counterpart while still allowing the machine operator the choice between maximum speed and maximum impact power. The company’s Blue Line, described as a simple breaker design, has been extended at the light end of the range by the a

    January 6, 2017
    Bobcat has introduced the TL470HF, a high-flow version of its recently launched telehandler. The HF version shares the 4tonne/7m capacities of the standard machine but comes with a 100kW engine (instead of 75kW) and a 190litre/min pump instead of 100litres/min in the standard machine. The result is higher traction power and cycle times that are up to 30% quicker than with the normal flow version with the no-load lift time of less than five seconds. In addition to providing a higher flow rate, the bigg

    Mecalac’s AS900 tele - a rigid chassis all-wheel steer, compact loader - has been given an overhaul for 2012. The 7,250kg machine gets a new cab offering greater visibility, more internal space and quieter in-cab noise levels. A centrally positioned seat affords a clear view of the working environment, with controls integrated into a single joystick. The cab uses two large doors, providing easy access to the cab and with generous soundproofing, the in-cab noise levels have been reduced to 72 dB(A). The
