WEIGHING SYSTEMS
Autotech Weighing Systems weighing in on smarter payload control
Measuring where it matters most Demand for load-weighing systems is being driven by five key applications, with quarrying and aggregates accounting for the largest share of enquiries. “Every bucket is a saleable quantity and a truck that leaves light is revenue you loaded but never invoiced,” says Bundhoo. Bulk earthworks and civil construction are the fastest-growing segments, as contractors are increasingly paid according to measured tonnages and required to provide evidence of those quantities. Mining remains a steady market, where payload per cycle is already an important production metric, although many sites still estimate rather than measure it. Container depots are also adopting weighing technology on reach stackers, driven by both productivity and the requirement for verified gross mass under
Capital Equipment News’ Juanita Pienaar spoke with Nischal Bundhoo, Technical Sales Engineer at Autotech Weighing Systems, about how weighing technology is helping operators improve payload accuracy, productivity, efficiency and cost control across mobile equipment, road transport and rail.
It turns payload from an impression into a number you can manage.
