Tricky Material Measurement Made Simple with Loadscan

Handling materials like soil, wet fill, or organics can be challenging. Moisture content, compaction, and density fluctuations make traditional weighing or estimation methods unreliable. The result? Inconsistent load data, invoicing disputes, and inefficiencies that reduce both time and profit.

With Loadscan volume scanners, operators and site managers gain total visibility of every cubic metre moved. Our Load Volume Scanner (LVS) and Conveyor Volume Scanner (CVS) deliver accurate, consistent measurements—even for the most unpredictable materials.


The Problem with Tricky Materials

A truckload of damp mulch can weigh far more than the same volume when dry. Wet fill behaves similarly, making weight-based calculations unreliable. Traditional systems like weighbridges or onboard scales cannot account for these variations. Bucket-counts or “by-eye” estimates often lead to errors in invoicing, reporting, and load management.


How Loadscan Solves Tricky Material Measurement

Loadscan LVS and CVS focus on volume, not weight. Using advanced LiDAR scanning technology, the LVS accurately measures the true volume of each truckload, regardless of shape, size, or moisture content.

For continuous operations, the CVS monitors conveyor throughput, providing accurate, real-time volume data. Operators can track production, adjust feed rates, set batching, and monitor output efficiently.

By measuring volume instead of weight, both systems provide a transparent, auditable record of material movement that is unaffected by density or moisture.

Smarter Operations and Accurate Invoicing

Every load measured by Loadscan is logged and stored, ready for reporting or invoicing. Contractors can prove exactly how much material was delivered or removed, reducing disputes and improving transparency.

Operators gain insights into:

  • Material movement efficiency

  • Cycle times and production rates

  • Load consistency and distribution

Whether it’s compost in a recycling facility, wet fill on a construction site, or soil removal during earthworks, Loadscan ensures accountability and accurate reporting from loading through invoicing.


The Bottom Line

Using Loadscan volume scanners, operators can finally remove the guesswork from tricky material measurement. Accurate volumetric data empowers better business decisions, improves operational efficiency, and ensures complete transparency across every project.
