Loadscan

What Loadscan does

Loadscan Ltd is a New Zealand-based industrial technology company that designs, manufactures, and services patented LiDAR-based volumetric payload scanning systems for the bulk-materials industries. Its product family comprises three hardware lines — the Load Volume Scanner (LVS) in Fixed (3BMF), Mobile (3TMM) and Portable (3BMP) configurations; the Mine Payload Scanner (MPS) for surface and underground mining; and the Conveyor Volume Scanner (CVS) for bulk flow on conveyors — all of which feed the MyScanner cloud platform, where the LoadVision and Alerts! add-ons provide visual verification and automated reporting. The company's measurement systems are the only truck-volume scanning solutions worldwide to hold trade certification for legal trade in New Zealand, Australia and the United States, and the technology is positioned as a more accurate alternative to weighbridge, weight-conversion, or bucket-count methods, with stated conveyor accuracy above 98.5%.

The company monetizes through one-time hardware sales, recurring MyScanner cloud subscriptions, manufacturer warranty and service contracts, and Loadscan LVS API integration work, supported by 700+ installed units across 50+ countries and four directly-operated regional offices in New Zealand (HQ, Hamilton), Australia (Redland Bay, QLD), the United States (Conroe, Texas) and Brazil (Contagem, MG). Its go-to-market is consultative direct field sales backed by an extensive public case-study library, an Economic Benefits Whitepaper, virtual demos, and a dedicated Partner Portal for channel resellers.

Customers span Mining (OceanaGold, Tritton/Aeris Resources, Taganito/NAC, ODOD Gold Mongolia, Teranga Gold Senegal), Civil Construction (Fulton Hogan, Coops), Quarries (Road Metals, ECON La Cantera), Bark/Mulch & Compost (Gro-Bark, Daltons, Triple-S), Oil & Gas (Stage 3 Separation), and Government (Hawkesbury City Council). The company is privately held with no parent or external investor disclosed and reports headcount in the 11–50 range; leadership comprises CEO Carey West and Founder Wayne West.

Core offering

Loadscan designs, manufactures, and services patented LiDAR-based laser volume scanning systems — the Load Volume Scanner (LVS), Mine Payload Scanner (MPS), and Conveyor Volume Scanner (CVS) — that measure the exact volume of material loaded in truck bins or flowing on conveyors and produce a 3D color profile of every load. The hardware is paired with the MyScanner cloud platform for remote access, real-time data, dashboards, and video/snapshot verification, sold to mining, civil construction, quarry, bark/mulch, and biomass operators across more than 50 countries.

Product overview

Loadscan offers a portfolio of laser-based volumetric payload measurement products rather than a single unified platform. The flagship core product is the Load Volume Scanner (LVS), available in Fixed 3BMF, Mobile 3TMM, and Portable 3BMP configurations for civil, quarry, and bark/mulch industries. The Mine Payload Scanner (MPS) is the mining-specific equivalent and pairs with LoadTrak rugged in-cab consoles. The Conveyor Volume Scanner (CVS) measures bulk flow on conveyors for quarries, mining, and mulch operations. All three scanner families feed into the MyScanner Cloud Service, which is the unified software platform that provides remote access, real-time scan data, and houses add-on modules MyScanner LoadVision (video/image verification) and MyScanner Alerts! (automated flagged reporting). Underlying 3D Payload Profiler and Volumetric Payload/Volumetric Truck Measurement technologies support the product line.

Direct peers

• Walz Scale: US-based manufacturer of laser-based volumetric load scanning systems for mining trucks and haul trucks, offering the closest direct product overlap with Loadscan's LVS line, including trailer and conveyor measurement systems targeted at mining and aggregate customers.

Broad incumbents

• Caterpillar (Cat Payload / MineStar): Global mining OEM offering integrated Cat Payload and Cat MineStar payload estimation and fleet management solutions across its haul truck line, competing for the same mine operator budget as Loadscan's MPS but as part of a much broader equipment and software portfolio.
• Komatsu (Smart Construction / FrontRunner): Major mining and construction OEM with payload monitoring and autonomous haulage systems embedded in its trucks, competing with Loadscan for payload measurement spend in large mining fleets while also serving a much wider equipment and services portfolio.
• Hitachi Construction Machinery: Mining truck OEM with payload measurement, Wenco fleet management, and dump truck monitoring solutions; competes with Loadscan at the truck-OEM level but offers a much broader heavy equipment portfolio rather than specializing in volumetric scanning.
• Trimble (Mining & Civil Solutions): Provides fleet management, payload analytics, and civil construction technology including aggregates and quarry solutions; competes for software and analytics wallet share adjacent to Loadscan's MyScanner cloud platform while serving many other verticals.
• Mettler-Toledo: Global leader in industrial weighing and process measurement, including vehicle scales, weighbridges, and conveyor belt scales that compete with Loadscan's LVS and CVS as the incumbent weight-based alternative in quarries, ports, and bulk handling.
• Avery Weigh-Tronix: Industrial weighing solutions provider including vehicle scales, on-board scales, and bulk material weighing systems used in mining, aggregates, and waste; competes with Loadscan's load volume scanning as the weight-based legacy approach to haul truck measurement.
• Volvo Construction Equipment (Haul Assist / On-Board Weighing): Mining and construction equipment OEM offering Haul Assist and on-board weighing solutions for its articulated and rigid haul trucks; competes for payload measurement budgets in quarries and mines while offering a much broader heavy equipment portfolio.

Emerging players

• Strayos: 3D scanning and AI platform for quarries, mining, and drilling operations; competes for the digital measurement and analytics budget that Loadscan targets via MyScanner, but focuses on drill/blast and face profiling rather than in-truck volumetric load scanning.
• Tamtron: European on-board weighing and load management solutions provider for construction, waste, and mining vehicles; competes with Loadscan for payload visibility in quarries and contractor fleets but relies on weight-based rather than laser volumetric measurement.
