Why Heavy Vehicle Load Measurement Matters
Accurate heavy vehicle load measurement is critical for both safety and legal compliance. Australia’s Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) now holds businesses, corporate entities, directors, and managers accountable for breaches, even if they do not directly operate the vehicle. This makes understanding your payload weight more important than ever, especially in remote quarries or sand mining sites without full truck scales.
Loadscan’s Drive-Through Load Volume Scanner
Loadscan provides a non-contact, drive-through load measurement system using laser scanning technology. Unlike traditional weight-based systems, the accuracy of Loadscan is not affected by wear or calibration issues. Trucks pass under the elevated scanner, and the system captures precise volumetric data with a proven accuracy of +/- 1% or 0.1 m³ resolution. This ensures reliable truck payload monitoring and gives operators peace of mind that no vehicle leaves the site overloaded.
Real-Time Feedback and Operational Efficiency
The Loadscan system supplies 3D profiles for every load and integrates seamlessly with office management software. Consequently, haulback is accounted for, and operators can optimize truck capacity and material movement. Unlike on-board weighing systems, which require routine maintenance and calibration, Loadscan only needs a single installation, covering all trucks passing beneath it. This reduces downtime and improves fleet load management efficiency.
Benefits for Safety and Compliance
Ensures HVNL compliance and reduces legal risk
Prevents overloading and improves haulage efficiency
Provides traceable, accurate volumetric data for audits
Optimizes payloads across the fleet, reducing operational costs
Easy setup with minimal disruption to operations
By implementing Loadscan, businesses achieve reliable heavy vehicle load measurement, maintain compliance, and improve operational safety and productivity.
