Prevent Under-Supplying with Loadscan’s Payload Measurement Solution
No one likes paying for more than they receive. One of the most common issues in industries handling bulk materials — like sand, gravel, compost, mulch, and bark — is not knowing if you received the full amount ordered.
For example, you might order 80 cubic metres or yards, but without measuring volume accurately, there’s no way to confirm the delivery. Traditional methods like weighbridges or counting scoops are often unreliable. Wet material can skew weight readings, and manual tracking of truck loads can be easily mismanaged or abused.
Signs You’re Not Getting Your Money’s Worth
Here are three common signs that deliveries may be short:
A mulch truck appears to have a partially filled bin, and the dumped pile looks smaller than previous loads.
You calculate you need 10 truckloads of gravel, but end up ordering 2–3 more to finish the job.
You order 25 truckloads of fill but only see 22 delivered.
These scenarios can cost time, money, and create frustration on-site.
How Loadscan’s Payload Measurement Solution Solves the Problem
Loadscan’s payload measurement solution uses advanced 3D scanning technology and RFID truck identification to ensure every load is accurately measured. Each truck receives a unique Radio Frequency ID tag, and raw scan data is encrypted to prevent tampering. This prevents short deliveries or fraudulent additions and provides peace of mind for operators.
The process is simple: trucks are scanned when empty and again when loaded. The two profiles are compared to calculate the exact volume of material carried. This allows accurate, real-time load tracking for bulk materials in construction, mining, mulch & bark, and quarry operations.
Benefits of Using a Payload Measurement Solution
