Improving costing and pricing for tendering on jobs big and small

For A&R Earthmovers, precision is key to running efficient and profitable operations. Based in Tauranga, New Zealand, the company specialises in earthmoving and bulk fill supplies, including pumice, topsoil, clay, and aggregate.

To manage these products effectively, A&R Earthmovers integrates the Loadscan load volume scanner with a Loadrite scale system, ensuring both weight and volume measurements are accurate.

“At A&R Earthmovers the Loadscan scanner is used for a range of things such as: measuring imported metal that is being used to build our roads; measuring fill that is carted around site; and selling pumice and our other products out the gate.”
— Cassidy Schulz, A&R Earthmovers

This combination of technologies has allowed the team to dramatically improve costing and pricing when tendering for both large and small projects. By using the Loadrite scale to measure the exact payload weight and pairing it with the volume accuracy of the Loadscan system, A&R Earthmovers has eliminated the guesswork from their operations.

Whether moving bulk fill around job sites or selling product directly to customers, the integrated system ensures that every truck is measured with accuracy. This transparency improves customer confidence and protects profit margins by preventing over- or under-supply.

Another benefit is the efficiency gained on site. Instead of relying on manual measurement or estimations, the Loadrite weighing system and Loadscan’s 3D imaging technology provide instant data. The ability to track both weight and volume ensures the company can reconcile deliveries, verify supplier loads, and keep detailed records for management and invoicing.

“It’s a simple system to use and the support team has been great. I would recommend this load scanner for sure.”

With accuracy, reliability, and ease of use, the partnership of Loadrite scales and Loadscan load volume scanners has helped A&R Earthmovers build a stronger competitive edge, particularly when bidding for projects where precision in earthmoving and haulage costs makes all the difference.
