Onboard with Precision Loads
Roslin Enterprises, in Princeton, Ontario, has come a long way since their unique beginnings.
The company started as part of a turkey farm, but it didn’t take long for the rendering business to outgrow the ranch. They built a new facility dedicated to rendering where today, their business includes grease collection and ingredient mixing based on customer recipes.
In 2010, Roslin needed an onboard weighing solution for their vacuum trucks, which are used to collect grease and cooking oil. The company refines and purifies these products, then ships them to the United States for use in the biodiesel industry.
The first attempt at an onboard scale came in the form of an air-bag sensor kit mounted to the truck suspension. “It was something we found on the Internet,” says Scott Dennis, co-owner of Roslin Enterprises. “We installed the air pressure system but it never worked right. The weights were all over the place. We learned very quickly that a better solution
was needed so we went to Brian Taylor [owner of Teeterville Garage and Weighing Systems] and he recommended Precision Loads.”
The first Precision Loads system worked so well that Roslin Enterprises has installed it on the rest of their fleet. “Every truck that we buy from now on, we just put it on. It’s not even a discussion,” Scott says. “They work really well and we’ve never had any problems at all. Today, I couldn’t imagine our trucks without them.”
