Concrete boom pump trucks tip over. Not often — but when they do, the consequences are catastrophic. The machines are enormous, the loads are dynamic, and operators are working from training and instinct with limited real-time data about what the truck and outriggers are doing.
We looked for a portable, non-invasive system that could give operators and fleet managers better visibility without tying into machine controls. We found nothing that fit. So we built it.
The name Pondus comes from the Latin word for gravitational load and weight. Our logo is a machinist's hex plumb bob — the tool my father, a machinist, taught me to use when I was five years old. Fifty-six years later, the physics haven't changed. Gravity still wins. And knowing the load is everything.
