How Loadrite Systems are Redefining Quarry Management

In the dynamic world of quarry operations, efficiency and precision are paramount. The ability to monitor and manage stockpile inventory, optimise production, and ensure accurate data collection are vital for quarry operators looking to stay ahead of the competition.  SITECH Solutions, as the authorised dealer for Loadrite, is at the forefront of delivering innovative solutions to the quarry industry. Jason Sydenham, Business Development - Key Markets for SITECH Solutions, emphasises the value of Loadrite products, stating, "I've been working with Loadrite products for eight years, and during this time, I've witnessed an exponential growth in demand from quarries seeking accurate data on material weight measurements and production metrics."

Rosebrook Sand and Gravel: A Loadrite Success Story

 With quarries located in the Hunter Valley region of NSW, Rosebrook Sand and Gravel specialises in the manufacture, supply, and delivery of quarry products to the mining, civil, concrete, construction, and landscape industries. Recently, Rosebrook Sand and Gravel made a strategic investment in Loadrite X2350 Excavator Scales coupled with Loadrite InsightHQ Site Management Software from SITECH Solutions. Their decision was guided by the significant benefits realised through the initial purchase, and they were so impressed that they acquired a second set.

 Brendon King, Purchasing Officer from Rosebrook Sand and Gravel, shared his thoughts on this transformative technology with Quarry Magazine.

 “We have two excavators fitted with the Loadrite X2350 scales which are currently in work at a customer’s quarry feeding our trommels,” said King. “The scales weigh the tonnage of each bucket of raw material going into the trommel, which we can then charge accordingly. Loadrite X2350 precisely weighs and records each bucket, and then Insight HQ allows us to easily create multiple reports with this data, which we can then use to accurately invoice our customer or monitor production."

 “The Loadrite system has improved our excavator’s productivity by quickly, easily, and accurately weighing the material in the bucket, and displaying the payload information on an easy-to-read monitor in the excavator’s cab, which is also available as live data on Insight HQ."

 “The financial benefit we saw since installing the first set of scales was the main reason why we went ahead with the second set."

 “Sitech Solutions’ excellent after-sales support is also a huge factor in why we are a repeat customer.”
