FleetWatch has long stressed the importance of weighing and load management in keeping South Africa’s trucks compliant, safe and efficient while also keeping our roads in good condition. With this in mind, it’s good to see Loadtech Loadcells stepping up with a new Cape Town branch, bringing its expertise closer to operators in the Western Cape.

“Expanding to Cape Town is a natural step for us,” says Glen Webster, Operations Director at Loadtech. “We’ve seen a growing demand for high-quality weighing and load measurement solutions in the Western Cape and this branch allows us to be closer to our customers while continuing to deliver the trusted expertise Loadtech is known for.”

The branch will serve industries from mining and manufacturing to logistics, agriculture and construction. Customers can expect faster turnaround times, stronger technical support and full access to Loadtech’s services – from system installation and commissioning through to regular calibration, servicing, on-site assistance and 24/7 backup to minimise downtime.

“With this move, Loadtech strengthens its nationwide footprint while positioning itself to provide tailored solutions to the Western Cape’s unique operational challenges,” concludes Webster.

Editor’s Comment: In trucking, accuracy is everything. Overloaded or imbalanced rigs risk penalties for exceeding gross combination mass limits and compromise road safety for drivers and the public alike. They also mess up the roads. Reliable weighing is therefore not just about efficiency – it is central to compliance and the safe movement of goods. FleetWatch congratulates Loadtech on its Cape Town expansion and its ongoing contribution to safer, more professional trucking operations.
