Halomec, the Stroud-based mobile equipment after-market solutions specialist, has secured exclusive distribution in mainland UK for LOADRITE’s leading range of on-board weighing systems.

LOADRITE weighing solutions can be installed on excavators, materials handlers, wheel loaders, conveyors, crushers and screens to provide ultra-sensitive, high accuracy weighing with powerful process and data management capabilities.

The technology offers advanced features to improve efficiency and save cost in a range of industries, including construction, quarrying, mining, municipal, waste and recycling, scrap metal, and other materials handling applications.

Headquartered in New Zealand, LOADRITE is the global leader in onboard weighing technology with significant market share in North America and Australasia. It currently commands 70% of the U.S. market for scales of its type. Halomec’s appointment in the UK is part of a current drive to increase LOADRITE’s market presence in Europe.

LOADRITE’S latest innovations include a new wheel loader scale, the L-2180, which is the most accurate system available on the market. It also manufactures the market’s highest precision, truly dynamic excavator weighing system, the Loadrite X-Weigh. This can be used in a variety of applications including quarry pit loading and materials handling where accuracy of loading is a major requirement. Optional data recording and data management enhance the system further.

LOADRITE is also revolutionising productivity and process control in aggregate production with its ‘whole site’ concept for weighing and inventory management. It has developed sophisticated software that provides integrated data reporting for the entire extraction process, from initial blast to loading out.

Halomec’s MD, Julian Athawes, said: “We are extremely excited to be working with such an innovative, world-class brand, and bringing the benefits of LOADRITE’S cutting edge weighing solutions to the UK.

“With our technical understanding of user markets and their plant and operational needs, we are looking forward to creating profitable weighing and data management solutions for customers and maintaining close service support to maximise their satisfaction with the LOADRITE brand.”
