How to understand this sentence? It made a rather inharmonious trundling sound, but this was more than compensated for by the efficacy with which is transported heavier items.

"How can I understand this sentence?" (This is the natural way to ask this question) I'll divide it for you: "...but this was more than compensated for / by the efficacy / with which it transported heavier items." In other words, "It was noisy, but this wasn't a problem because it transported heavier items efficiently."
