In October 2009 the L-2180 became the latest in a long line of wheel loader scales by LOADRITE™. With that release, LOADRITE™ went on a hunt for the oldest working LOADRITE™ system still operating in North America. “We knew there would be some very old scales still working, LOADRITE™ are known as durable, hard working systems.” explained Elliot Chisholm, Product Marketing manager of LOADRITE™ weighing systems. During the months following the release, many systems were checked to see if they were the “Oldest LOADRITE™ Scale”. Amazingly, there were quite a few systems more than 20 years old submitted from all over North America. “Quite a few customers were hoping to be the oldest system and get the free upgrade with all the new features and improved weighing capability of the L-2180. Customers also really appreciated our upgrade pricing, helping them get the better system”, explained Andrew Crose, vice president Sales and Marketing. After researching all the submitted systems, a clear winner emerged from Donegan’s Haulage & Ready Mix of Listowel, Ontario. Not only was their LR500 the “Oldest LOADRITE™ Scale”, their two other LR500 were the next oldest systems as well. Mike Clarke, Silvertop Supply, the Factory Trained, Authorized LOADRITE distributor for Ontario, stated “When I heard about the promotion to find the oldest system, I had a hunch that Donegan’s would win. They’ve been a loyal customer for as long as we’ve represented the LOADRITE™ product line.” With LOADRITE™ systems on just about every wheel loaders, Donegan’s Haulage has found the systems extremely useful. When asked how much owner Harry Donegan would want to buy back all of his LOADRITE™ systems he emphatically stated “You can't buy them back, we need them.”
