Do you have the oldest LOADRITE® wheel loader system operating in North America? If so, LOADRITE® will exchange yours for their newest system, the L-Series 2180, free of charge. LOADRITE® is searching for the oldest running system in North America, knowing systems could easily be over 20 years old. Since introducing their first wheel loader weighing system in 1997 LOADRITE® has been the system of choice for accurate weighing on wheel loaders ever since. “When we first started K&R Weigh Systems in 1993, the idea that you could weigh on a wheel loader was completely foreign to most customers, now it’s standard at most producers” says Jim Gondor of LOADRITE® distributor K&R Weigh Systems.
Onboard weighing systems by LOADRITE® have evolved considerably over the years: 
1982 - LR200 is introduced. Revolutionary for its time, it relied on a sinapshot pressure reading weigh point. |
| 
1986 - LR500 offers a more rugged system with improved user interface. |
|
1989 - LOADRITE® LR710 revolutionizes the weighing industry introducing dual transducers (lift and return hydraulic cylinders), boom speed compensation, and adjustments for bouncing lifts. |
| 
1994 - LR810 system is popular introducing multi-point weighing and standard dual transducer weighing for greatly increased accuracy. |
|
1998 - LR910 introduces easier to read displays and rotary triggers for improved multi-point weighing. |
| 
2002 - LOADRITE® PRO model adds advanced productivity reporting to become the industry standard in on-board weighing. |
|
In October 2009, LOADRITE® will revolutionize the industry once again with their L-Series 2180 system. With built in FACT™ (Friction and Ambient Compensation Technology), the L-2180 performs lift by lift compensation throughout the day to deliver consistent results regardless of operator, operating temperature, and machine friction to give the highest accuracy and precision possible. Add the optional Ground Slope Compensation kit and you can even weigh accurately on hills, ramps, and slopes.
