Loadrite's new Integrated Container Weighing System (ICWS) was developed specifically for use by ports to increase service efficiency. The ICWS automatically weighs each container load as the straddle picks it up from truck or rail, without the need for repeated weighing of empty and full containers, but with maximum efficiency. The load details are recorded instantly by the port's existing NAVIS software, to provide instantaneous and accurate information to the port's customers.

The system was developed in partnership with the Port of Tauranga Limited—New Zealand's largest export port by volume and one of the world's fastest-growing container ports.

The ICWS dramatically reduces the risk to truckers of inadvertently incurring overweight-penalty traffic fines, while increasing the safety to the driver and the general public. For shippers, the advantage accurately weighed loads lies in achieving optimum loading balance on board, without extending ship turnaround times.
