Razorback has been using Loadscan technology for well over a decade, starting with a previous quarry long before the current sites opened.

On large-scale development projects, accuracy isn’t optional – it’s essential. The difference between guessing and knowing has major financial and operational impacts...

One of the most valuable aspects of Loadscan for Pro Bark has been its real-time monitoring capabilities... the ability to keep track of the volume of every load that leaves the yard, from the office.

With the Loadscan CVS, the quarry now monitors stock volumes in real-time. If an aggregate type is running low, the system helps quickly reassign resources — ensuring a consistent supply of material for each product.

The Loadscan LVS uses laser scanning technology to measure the exact volume of material in each truck as it passes through a scanner, providing precise and consistent data. The solution ensures that each load is accurately recorded in real time, which significantly reduces human error and makes the overall hauling process more efficient.

The Loadscan LVS has not only enhanced operational efficiency but has also improved the way the loader operators operate. Emphasising the importance of measurement in the improvement process: “In order to improve it, you have to measure it. If you can't measure it, you can't improve it.”...

The transition to Loadscan brought about improved customer satisfaction and, with the integration of vehicle tracking in their trucks, it further reinforces transparency. The technology allowed them to detail, with precision, the journey of each load through the scanner.

Hawkesbury City Council was tasked with clearing a major landslip on the banks of the Hawkesbury River near the settlement of Wiseman’s Ferry, around 75km northwest of Sydney. There, almost 30,000m2 of earth had come down.

Initially implementing Loadscan’s volume scanner took some time for widespread acceptance, as sceptics questioned its accuracy. However, they swiftly validated its precision by cross-referencing scans with on-ground measurements, earning the trust of engineers and contractors alike.

Cost factors, coupled with potential reliability issues of a weighbridge, led them to explore alternatives. Enter Loadscan, where an LVS-3BMF load scanner provided a solution tailored to their needs, offering not only cost-effectiveness but also a seamless integration into their operational framework.

Beyond mere load measurements, the MPS offers detailed 3D scans, which give an insight into truck loading, weight distribution and chassis balance. Graham envisions leveraging this data for enhanced truck efficiency, a big step towards optimising fleet utilisation.

Understanding the volume of fill entering the site is almost as important as measuring the volume of sand going out to construction sites around the region, which is where the Loadscan-supplied LVS-3BMF load volume scanner (LVS) really plays its part.
