How can I fairly account for compaction / settlement in transit / moisture retention?
When buying or selling landscape-type products it can be hard to determine the fairest measuring stick. Some use volume off the bucket. Other’s weigh [...]
How do I know I’m receiving the amount of bulk material / raw product I paid for?
One of the most contentious issues when buying bulk materials is you can’t be 100% sure you’re getting the amount you paid for. Increasingly [...]
How to measure amount of mulch/bark/woodchip/compost/landscape supply on my truck
The most accurate method of determining the volume of organic material on a truck is to use a 3D volume scanner. Volumetric scanning is [...]
Is load volume scanning affected if there’s steam rising from the load (e.g. compost or bark chips)?
If the quantity of steam is enough to significantly disturb visibility of the load surface then a “visual pollution” error will be reported and [...]
How can I increase trucking factors?
Utilising the 3D load profiles, which are part of our payload management solutions, has been proven to increase trucking factors (all clients have experienced [...]
How can I increase truck payload / haul more material?
Utilize 3D volume profiling by Loadscan. By deploying a Loadscan load volume scanner into your trucking operations you will see an increase in trucking [...]
How can mining companies cut costs?
Mine cost reduction can be achieved through optimizing truck loading. If every truck is optimally loaded with the maximum payload this results in less [...]
How does using a Load Volume Scanner help mines achieve cost reductions?
To achieve a reduction in cost per tonne hauled it’s generally agreed that mines need to increase their trucking factors. Trucking factors include a [...]
How is the LVS powered?
Usually your load volume scanner will require a 110/240VAC power supply. If main power is not available an approved inverter-type generator (1KVA or higher) [...]
Is it better to weigh or scan truck loads?
Load volume scanning is fast becoming the industry standard in sectors reliant of shifting bulk material. Mining, civil construction, landscape product supply, and quarrying [...]
