Our Clients
SmartTech Australia, also know as Weighing Systems Australia, is the authorised Loadrite dealer supplying on-board weighing solutions to the waste and recycling industry across Australia.
Loadrite on-board weighing systems deliver accurate, reliable bin weighing on most makes and models of refuse and recycling vehicles, helping operators maximise efficiency, maintain compliance and reduce costly overloading.
Loadrite on-board weighing systems automatically record the weight of each bin or dumpster as it is lifted and emptied. The data is captured hands-free during normal collection operations, with no extra steps required from the driver.
Each collection is time-stamped and stored on the indicator, then transferred to route management software and Loadrite Insight for Waste for reporting, billing, and fleet optimisation. Overloading is identified in real time, helping drivers make smarter decisions about when to head to the transfer station.
Front Lift
Designed for front-lift compactor trucks, the system measures the net weight of each dumpster as it is emptied. Weight data is captured automatically during the lift cycle with no driver input required, allowing accurate per-customer billing and route optimisation.
Rear Lift
Built for rear-lift garbage trucks handling residential and commercial cart collections, the system records the net weight of each cart as it is emptied into the hopper. Accurate per-cart data supports environmental reporting and helps identify unprofitable collection rounds.
Hook Lift
For hook-lift trucks handling skip bins and roll-on roll-off containers, the system weighs the bin as it is lifted onto the truck and seated on the bin mounts. Weight is confirmed before departure, eliminating weighbridge disputes and overload fines at the gate.
Every waste and recycling operation has different vehicles, materials and reporting needs. Book a demo and we'll show you the accuracy and data capture that fits one truck or your entire fleet.

On a front lift truck the E2750 uses load sensors fitted to the lift arms to measure the net weight of each dumpster as it is tipped and emptied into the hopper. The system captures the weight automatically during the normal lift cycle, with no input required from the driver. The indicator mounted in the cab displays the individual dumpster weight and the running truck total in real time.
Every collection is time-stamped and stored on the indicator. That data can then be transferred to route management software or the Loadrite Insight for Waste platform for billing, reporting and fleet optimisation. Because the weight is recorded at the point of collection rather than at the weighbridge, disputes over individual customer charges are significantly reduced. Contact SmartTech Australia to discuss fitment for your front lift fleet.
Yes. The Loadrite E2750 is available in a rear lift configuration designed specifically for residential and commercial cart collection vehicles. Load sensors fitted to the rear lift mechanism record the net weight of each cart as it is emptied into the hopper. The process is fully hands-free during the normal collection cycle.
For rear lift operations handling large numbers of residential carts per run, the per-cart weight data is particularly valuable for identifying unprofitable rounds, providing accurate data for environmental reporting, and verifying recycling diversion rates for council contracts. The E2750 integrates with most OEM rear lift systems and connects to route management software via RS232, Bluetooth or WiFi. Contact SmartTech Australia to confirm compatibility with your vehicle make and model.
For hook lift trucks, the Loadrite E2750 weighs the skip bin or roll-on roll-off container as it is lifted onto the truck and seated on the bin mounts. The static weight is confirmed before the truck departs the collection site. This is a critical point in the chain of responsibility. Knowing the bin weight before leaving the site allows the driver to refuse an overweight bin rather than risk a fine at the weighbridge.
Without an on-board system, the true bin weight is often unknown until the vehicle reaches the weighbridge at the transfer station or landfill. By then the driver has already left the site and has no option but to proceed. The E2750 removes that uncertainty entirely. Individual bin weights are recorded with time and date, supporting accurate per-customer billing and eliminating weighbridge disputes. Contact SmartTech Australia to discuss hook lift fitment options.
Yes. The Loadrite E2750 is certified by the National Measurement Institute (NMI) as Legal for Trade under Australian law, which means the weights it records can be used as the basis for commercial transactions and customer invoicing.
Legal for Trade certification means the system has been independently verified to meet the accuracy requirements set out under the National Measurement Act 1960. For council contracts, commercial waste services and transfer station operations where per-tonne billing is standard, NMI certification gives both the operator and the customer confidence in the recorded weights. SmartTech Australia supplies and installs the E2750 with full NMI documentation. Contact SmartTech Australia for more information.
Yes. The E2750 is compatible with the Loadrite LP950 and LP930 in-cab thermal printers, which allow the driver to print a hard copy weight ticket or customer receipt directly from the cab at the point of collection. This is particularly useful for commercial bin collections where the customer requires a receipt, and for operations that need a paper audit trail alongside the digital record.
On the software side, the E2750 integrates with Loadrite Insight for Waste, which is a cloud-based fleet reporting platform that tracks vehicle location, individual collection weights, route activity and payload data across the entire fleet. Insight for Waste turns the raw weight data from each truck into actionable reports for route optimisation, customer billing, recycling diversion tracking and driver performance review. The system connects via RS232, Bluetooth or WiFi to onboard computers and is compatible with most major route management systems already in use in the Australian waste industry. Contact SmartTech Australia to discuss integration with your existing systems.
Under Australia's Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL), Chain of Responsibility obligations extend beyond the driver to every party in the transport chain, including waste contractors, council clients and fleet operators. If a waste vehicle is found to be overloaded, liability can fall on the operator and the organisation that directed or permitted the overloaded vehicle to travel. On-board weighing provides a documented, time-stamped record of the vehicle's payload at each collection point, which is critical evidence of due diligence.
With a Loadrite E2750 fitted, the driver receives a real-time payload reading before the truck departs each site. If the truck is approaching its legal gross vehicle mass, the driver can make an informed decision to head to the transfer station rather than continue collecting. That decision is recorded in the system. For fleet managers and operations supervisors, this data trail is the most practical way to demonstrate that your organisation took reasonable steps to prevent overloading. Contact SmartTech Australia to discuss how the E2750 supports your HVNL compliance programme across your fleet in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Townsville.
