Massload Custom Mining Platform or Truck Scale

PRODUCT DETAILS

Not every mine runs the same fleet. This custom mining platform or truck scale is built for mining trucks and mining equipment outside the standard CAT 777, CAT 785 and CAT 797F sizes.

The platform, capacity and system configuration are customized or adapted to each customer’s application. Mine operators get a scale that fits the equipment actually on site, rather than a standard scale the site has to work around. Engineering firms that design and build mine sites get a weighing solution they can specify around the project’s real requirements.

A custom scale on site becomes the reference point for the rest of your weighing equipment. Use it to validate and re-calibrate on-board payload systems and to verify the accuracy of loader scales, so the numbers your fleet reports match what is actually being hauled.

Accurate weights keep every vehicle working within its limits. Avoiding overloads reduces excessive wear on tires, axles, drivetrains and suspension components and improves safety for everyone on site. Avoiding underloads keeps trips and fuel from being wasted, which increases efficiency and throughput. Underground, the same applies to light utility vehicles that carry people and equipment and pull loaded trailers. These vehicles are easily overloaded, which can damage transmissions and other parts, so weighing them supports both equipment reliability and mine safety.

Mining is hard on equipment, and Massload builds its mining scales for it. Our underground vehicle scales are rugged enough to weigh mine haul vehicles, and our high-capacity, axle-based mining vehicle scales have been tested and proven at Canada’s most remote mining location. A scale built for these conditions reduces downtime and maintenance costs and keeps working in mud, dust, gravel, snow and cold.

Massload’s technical application team develops and implements weighing solutions for a wide range of mine applications vehicle weighing. Each custom scale is engineered around the equipment it needs to weigh and the way the site operates. That includes fixed installations at established weigh points and portable setups for temporary, remote or changing sites.
