Komatsu PC290LCI-11 with LOADEX 100 scale system

Out this morning with a customer's PC290LCI-11 machine fitted with the LOADEX 100 scale system.

I just spent a bit of time with the operator learning and understanding this system. I've put together a quick tutorial video on how to use it.

It is critical to know that these systems in excavators are not trade certified and that you have to be in certain conditions to get accurate readings.

Tips and Tricks

Bucket needs to crowded where the opening is essentially parallel with the ground.

Dipper arm neeeds to be at 90 degrees

Consistent lifting ( no stopping and starting). lift through the weighing sequence.

Zero your bucket in the morning and through out the day. Also zero your bucket when you change to a different one.

Work on a level pad ( this is critical)

With this system, you will struggle to load and wiegh from the ground. On flat ground your bucket is already in the weighing sequence. elevate your machine and or work on a stock pile.

Using this system will slow you down compared to normal operations but it will give you piece of mind when loading.
