1985 Trimble has extended its Connected Site portfolio with the acquisition of Actronic Holdings of Auckland, New Zealand, a leading provider of weighing technology and payload information systems for construction, aggregates, mining and waste markets.

Actronic Technologies’ Loadrite weighing system for wheel loaders, excavators, conveyors and waste collection vehicles adds weight to Trimble’s Connected Site portfolio by adding weight as an element of information collected at the machine. This extended capability will better enable contractors to use the Trimble Connected Site to achieve improved comprehensive real-time intelligence on asset and site productivity for the contractors mixed fleet. Trimble’s Connected Site is an extensive information architecture that optimises and integrates operations across the construction site and the office, thereby enabling improved planning, more advanced monitoring, and significantly greater productivity.

Roz Buick, vice president and general manager of Trimble’s Heavy Civil Construction Division commented, “Loadrite weighing systems expand the richness of the Connected Site information we collect from machines and complements the productivity and reporting capabilities we already provide our customers.”

“The Loadrite system is widely recognised as setting the standard for our industry, a result of over thirty years industry expertise gained by working closely with machine owners and operators,” said Gottfried Pausch, general manager for Actronic Technologies.
