How Loadrite Smart Scales Help Padstow Harbour Reinvest in the Community

At Padstow Harbour in Cornwall, keeping the port safe and clear is a never-ending task. As a non-profit port authority, every decision the Padstow Harbour Commissioners make has one goal in mind: to protect the harbour while creating value for the local community.
When material is dredged from the harbour, it’s not simply discarded. This antiseptic-rich byproduct is sold across the UK, generating a vital revenue stream that is reinvested directly back into maintaining and improving the harbour.
But as operations expanded, new challenges emerged. The team needed a way to ensure accurate weighing on site, faster reporting, and a more efficient invoicing process. That’s where Halomec stepped in.
We recommended the Loadrite L3180 SmartScale, paired with the LP950 Printer and InsightHQ cloud reporting. Together, these solutions have transformed harbour operations by enabling:

• Accurate weighing on every load – even on uneven terrain
• Real-time data access – for greater visibility across teams
• Streamlined invoicing – reducing days of admin work to just hours

The result? Increased productivity, improved accuracy, and more profits flowing back into protecting the harbour for future generations.
