Mining & Bulk Materials Weighing
Mining and bulk materials operations run on tonnes, not units and every inaccurate reading has an outsized cost. Whether you're tracking stockpile inventory, weighing bulk loads for dispatch, or monitoring loads on lifting equipment, your weighing systems need to hold accuracy while standing up to dust, vibration, moisture, and constant heavy use.
Meltrons supplies rugged weighing equipment built for the demands of mining, quarrying, and bulk materials sites across Australia.
Why Mining & Bulk Materials Operations Choose Meltrons
Built to survive harsh site conditions.
Equipment designed for dust, vibration, temperature extremes, and rough handling.
Accurate at scale.
Reliable readings for high-tonnage stockpiles and bulk loads, not just small quantities.
Load monitoring for safety-critical lifting.
Options suited to cranes, hoists, and rigging where overload risk is a safety issue.
Custom integration expertise.
We help you build weighing into existing bins, hoppers, conveyors, and handling equipment.
Stockpile & Bulk Storage Weighing
Accurate stock levels in bins, hoppers, and silos help you plan extraction, processing, and dispatch without overfilling or running short. Our tank and silo weighing kits give real-time visibility into bulk material levels see our guide on silo load cell installation, calibration, and maintenance for how these systems are set up and maintained.

Weighing Solutions for Every Site
From heavy-duty load cells to lifting safety and custom-built systems, find the right fit for your operation.
Load Cells for Heavy-Duty Applications
Mining environments demand load cells that hold calibration under constant vibration, dust ingress, and temperature swings. Our load cells and load bars are suited to integration into bins, chutes, conveyors, and processing equipment where reliability can't be compromised.
Load Pins for Lifting & Rigging Safety
Where materials or equipment are lifted via cranes, shackles, or rigging, load pins let you monitor load weight in real time critical for staying within safe working load limits and preventing overload incidents. Explore our Load Pin range for lifting and materials handling applications.
Floor & Platform Scales for Site Use
For weighing equipment, materials, or sample loads on-site, our floor scales and platform scales are built to handle forklift and machinery traffic in demanding site environments.
Custom Weighing Systems for Mining Equipment
Every site has different bin configurations, conveyor layouts, and processing equipment vary widely. Our Custom Solution Services team designs load cell and weighing solutions that integrate directly into your existing infrastructure, whatever it looks like.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can your equipment handle harsh outdoor mining conditions?
Yes, Our load cells and weighing equipment are built to withstand dust, moisture, vibration, and temperature extremes typical of mining and quarry sites. Tell us your site conditions and we'll recommend suitable equipment.
What's the difference between a load cell and a load pin?
A load cell measures weight or force through deformation of a sensing element, typically used in static or structural weighing (bins, hoppers, platforms). A load pin replaces a structural pin like in a shackle or crane block to measure load directly during lifting operations.
Can you integrate weighing into our existing bins or conveyors?
Yes, Our team regularly designs custom load cell solutions to retrofit existing bins, hoppers, and conveyor systems without requiring a full equipment replacement.
