Our case study analyzed the site’s operations, which operated the handling and loading of bulk waste materials. The site ran at 8-hour shifts each day, alternating between two wheel loaders, with a target weight of 24 tons per load (850 tons per day). With our system, the client discovered their loaders were only achieving about 16 tons per load, well below their goal. This lack of visibility translated into significant underloading, overusing of the truck fleet, and ultimately wasting time and money.

Once the HLC-1000 Wheel Loader scales were installed and the operators trained to maximize each load, the overall load average increased from 16 tons to approximately 23.5 tons per load. Additionally, the operators optimized their time with each load by getting the amount almost exactly right the first time, every time. That meant the site saw considerable savings and improved operations.

Because of MOBA, this site is now much safer, more productive and more profitable: a major improvement that paid for itself within a month.
