Boost productivity with on-board weighing

New generation electronic weighing systems are saving time and money by taking the guess work out of weight measurement.

Dalby-based RDS Australia specialises in on-board weighing systems for loaders and is the Australia/New Zealand distributor for British-based RDS Technology - world leaders in electronic measuring, monitoring and control systems.

RDS Australia managing director Chris Nussey says the equipment is an investment in productivity with applications in mining, industry and local government.

"This technology avoids loading fines and ensures the maximum load is achieved without having to go back and tip off excess. With the Loadmaster 9000, you don't need a weighbridge because the loader becomes a trade-approved mobile scale.

"We calibrate a known weight to a certain pressure and then we can tell how many tonnes are in the bucket with an accuracy margin as low as 10 kg.

"We were the first company in Australia to have a loader scale approved by the National Standards Commission so now you can legally sell product from a loader bucket."

"The product's ease of use is top class and the graphical information it displays is greater than any other on the market."

RDS Australia is the preferred supplier of electronics for a number of national and international companies, services a number of councils outside the local district as well as mines and industry.

The company also sells the RDS range of agricultural electronics , and GPS voice- guided navigation systems for cars and trucks.

Chris says the equipment is quality-built and reliable with back up servicing available.

"We believe the service we provide is industry-leading, and as a proudly local company , we fly the Dalby flag all around the country."
