RT Nelson continues with using SmartWeigh for accurate livestock weighing

RT Nelson operates one of the largest fleets of livestock trailers in the South East, where precision is essential. Since their business depends on payload weight rather than volume, accuracy in measuring each load directly impacts profitability. In an industry where guesswork could mean substantial financial losses, finding a dependable solution for real-time weight monitoring was crucial.

Transport Manager Jon Symons explains, “We would have to load our trailers with livestock, drive to a weighbridge to establish the payload weight, deliver to the customer, and then drive back to the weighbridge to establish the dropped weight. This procedure was necessary for every drop. Very costly and time-consuming.”

After some research, RT Nelson chose Bowmonk-Tapley’s advanced weighing system, which perfectly suited their needs. “We can now start our day knowing the payload, make the first drop, and note the payload difference on the in-cab display. The values can even be printed on the in-cab thermal printer to verify the dropped payload weight for the customer,” says Jon. “After trialling on one unit & trailer, we were confident enough to outfit other combinations.”

With Bowmonk-Tapley’s solution, RT Nelson has significantly streamlined operations, reduced costs, and ensured precise weight data for each load, enhancing both efficiency and customer satisfaction.
