Weighbridge Problem: Under Supplying – How Loadscan Ensures Accuracy
No one likes being short-changed. One of the most frustrating issues when purchasing bulk materials—such as sand, gravel, compost, mulch, or bark—is the weighbridge problem: under supplying. Without accurate bulk material measurement accuracy, it's difficult to be certain you're getting what you paid for.
Even if you ordered 80 cubic metres or yards, there's no guarantee that's exactly what arrived on-site. Traditional weighbridges and other payload measurement systems can be unreliable. Heavy rainfall can increase weight, counting scoops or truck loads can be inconsistent, and human error—or even intentional misreporting—can occur. Truck load scanning technology offers a reliable solution.
Signs You May Be Under-Supplied
- Smaller Loads: A mulch or gravel truck unloads a pile that seems smaller than previous deliveries, leaving you questioning whether the full volume has arrived.
- Incomplete Coverage: Calculations show you need 10 truck loads for a project, but you end up ordering 2–3 extra loads to finish the job.
- Discrepancies in Truck Counts: You order and pay for 25 truck loads of material but only 22 arrive. Where did the missing loads go? Prevent under-delivery of materials by using advanced measurement systems.
Loadscan Solves the Weighbridge Problem: Under Supplying
Loadscan's Load Volume Scanners (LVS) provide a secure, automated solution. Each truck is assigned a unique Radio Frequency ID tag, and scan data is encrypted to prevent tampering. The LVS system only produces a reading when the measurement is accurate, eliminating guesswork and ensuring transparency.
Trucks are scanned twice: once empty and once loaded. The system compares the two scans to calculate exact load volumes. This anti-corruption payload measurement system gives you peace of mind that every load is accounted for. Volumetric load measurement ensures fair billing and material control.
Industries Benefiting from Accurate Load Measurement
Loadscan is ideal for construction, mining, mulch and biomass, quarry and sandpit, and oil & gas operations. By using Loadscan technology, you can eliminate errors, ensure fair transactions, and solve the weighbridge problem: under supplying once and for all. Accurate truck load verification and secure load tracking systems help minimize material wastage.
