Volumetric Load Measurement Waikato: Central Soils Installs Loadscan LVS
Keeping Bulk Measurement Local in the Mighty Waikato
Central Soils has reinforced its commitment to local operations by purchasing a Load Volume Scanner (LVS-3BMP) from Loadscan in May. Both Hamilton-based companies collaborated closely to ensure accurate billing for every cubic metre of product supplied.
The facility screens excess topsoil stockpiles left over from subdivision developments. This material is then sold to landscape yards and bulk compost facilities across the Waikato and Auckland regions. By implementing a volumetric load measurement system, Central Soils can now guarantee precise quantities for both suppliers and customers.
Accurate Truck Load Measurement with Portable LVS Technology
Paul Zeeders, who installed the scanner, commented:
“It was great to work so closely with another local business. We normally travel overseas, so avoiding jetlag was a bonus!”
The LVS-3BMP is portable and ideal for long-term or large-scale truck measurement projects. Its flexibility allows Central Soils to move the scanner to different locations as needed. As a result, every load is measured consistently and accurately.
Trade-Certified Volumetric Measurements
Royalty payments to topsoil owners are based on per cubic metre measurements. Using the LVS, Central Soils produces reports for owners. Payments are made based on trade-certified volumetric data, removing human error from calculations.
Additionally, the system bills customers for the exact quantity of product supplied. This resolves disputes from customers concerned about under-delivery. The scanner delivers fully automated, non-contact, drive-through scans, providing reliable and transparent results.
Benefits for Bulk Facilities
By adopting a volumetric load measurement system, Central Soils shows how modern scanning technology can improve bulk product measurement, operational efficiency, and supply chain accountability.
Other bulk facilities in the Waikato region and beyond can benefit from accurate truck load tracking, faster reporting, and dispute-free transactions. Therefore, any facility looking to implement a comprehensive volumetric payload measurement system can contact Loadscan for expert advice and support.
