Weight sensors (42) coupled to the bed (22) of a conventional haulage truck (20) measure the weight applied to each tire strut as the truck is being loaded. Based on the weight applied to each strut, the exact position of the center of gravity (G) of the load (34) in the truck's bed is calculated and displayed on a monitor (44) relative to a target position (C) deemed optimal for uniform weight distribution. Based on this information, the operator of the loading machine can complete the loading operation in such a way as to shift the center of gravity toward the chosen target position. In another embodiment of the invention, an automated algorithm calculates and displays where the next bucket load should be dropped, based on its approximate weight, in order to shift the center of gravity (G) toward the target location (C).

Des capteurs de poids (42) couplés à la benne (22) d'un camion porteur habituel (20) mesurent le poids appliqué sur chaque amortisseur de roue lors du chargement du camion. Sur la base du poids appliqué sur chaque amortisseur de roue, la position exacte du centre de gravité (G) de la charge (34) dans la benne du camion est calculée et affichée sur un écran (44) par rapport à une position cible (C) considérée comme optimale pour la répartition uniforme de la charge. Sur la base de cette information, le conducteur de la machine de chargement peut terminer le chargement de manière à déplacer le centre de gravité vers la position cible choisie. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, un algorithme automatisé calcule et affiche la position où le prochain godet doit être déversé, sur la base de son poids approximatif, afin de déplacer le centre de gravité (G) vers la position cible (C).
