Halomec Ltd has been chosen to be the authorised distributor for Trimble® Smart Haul in the UK.
 
The Gloucestershire-based company, dedicated to helping business managers to improve the productivity of their mobile plant and equipment, has enjoyed an excellent working relationship with Trimble for some time, as UK resellers of their Loadrite system. With their understanding of heavy industry, mobile equipment and harsh environments, Halomec was the natural choice for Smart Haul, the automated load and haul tracking system which can improve load and haul, reduce cycle times and boost tons per hour. 
 
The Smart Haul system is almost completely automated and requires very little interaction from excavator operators. It can be fitted to any make or model of excavator, haul truck or ADT. The information it provides will help you detect delays, under-usage and bottlenecks. By combining payload data from the excavator scale with haul fleet monitoring and cloud reporting, it will also help to identify opportunities for additional productivity.

With specialist industry knowledge and an in-depth understanding of customers' needs, Halomec strives to provide and implement effective solutions for your business. Halomec’s team of regional engineers take time to understand your particular operation, getting to know your staff and how they operate, to deliver what you need for your business. They are trained to configure, install and service systems, precisely and safely. 
 
As Tim Bannister, Product Manager at Trimble, says: "Tracking progress in real-time, including material movement from dig to dump, enables hour-to-hour and day-to-day gains."
 
If your aggregate, quarrying, mining or construction business could be helped by moving material with greater speed and efficiency, get in touch with Halomec for a demonstration of the Smart Haul system to see what it can do for you on 01453 766444 or at info@halomec.com.

The Trimble Loadrite L2180 wheel loader scale now provides bulk materials suppliers with a genuine alternative to fixed weighbridges.

The L2180 has been approved in the UK for a number of years as a leagal for trade scale, but now with the advent of e-ticketing, provides a practical alternative to a fixed weighbridge.

The obvious applications are in the aggregates supply sector, where managers are seeking to eliminate the costs of fixed weighbridges and reduce turnaround times for customers.

Plantworx 2017 will see the UK unveiling of the Trimble L3180 SmartScale wheel loader scale.  

This next generation scale is designed to not only provide consistently high loading accuracy, across a wide variety of operational conditions, but also focuses on measuring operator and machine productivity and performance.  

For managers looking to take productivity to the next level, with total visibility of efficiency in real-time, via Trimble Insight Reporting, the L3180 could provide part of the solution.

Halomec Ltd is pleased to announce full supplier accreditation with the Avetta (formerly PICS) Consortium.

Avetta is the world's leading provider of supply chain risk management solutions, providing customised supplier auditing to many global corporations including Heidelberg Cement (Hanson), Cemex, Lafarge Holcim and CRH Tarmac.

Accreditation underlines Halomec's commitment to providing consistently high levels of service and to the continuous monitoring and improvement of processes that underline the business. Julian Athawes, Halomec MD commented; "As a rapidly growing SME, with an appetite to work with global companies operating in demanding industries, Avetta offers us the recognition and the framework to provide safe, efficient and repeatable levels of service.  The process of accreditation has driven us to really scrutinise how we function at many levels of the business. Rather that viewing this as a constraint, we have used the process as motivation to improve our approach though out the company.  I see this as the beginning of the journey and look forward to refining and improving our processes, so that we can further improve the delivery of services to our clients"
