Heavy plant aftermarket specialist becomes sole mainland UK distributor for Loadrite on-board weighing systems 

HALOMEC, the Stroud-based mobile equipment aftermarket solutions specialists, have secured exclusive distribution in mainland UK for Loadrite’s range of on-board weighing systems.

Headquartered in New Zealand, Loadrite have significant market share in North America and Australasia. The company currently commands 70% of the US market for scales of its type, and Halomec’s appointment in the UK is part of a drive to increase Loadrite’s market presence in Europe.

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

Loadrite say they are also aiming to revolutionize productivity and process control in aggregate production with their ‘whole site’ concept for weighing and inventory management. The company has developed sophisticated software that provides integrated data reporting for the entire extraction process, from initial blast to load out.

Halomec’s managing director, 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.’

Halomec have already received their first order for Loadrite products. The Raymond Brown Group has invested in three Loadrite Express systems for mobile plant at their aggregates, minerals and recycling divisions in Dorset and Wiltshire. These were installed on Caterpillar 962H and 966H wheel loaders and have recently been put into service.

Established in 2005, Halomec supply, install and service high-quality aftermarket solutions to maximize the performance, service life, safety and profitability of heavy plant and equipment. In addition to Loadrite weighing solutions, the company also distributes Lincoln automatic lubrication systems and Alphaview vehicle CCTV.
