Railway scales

Train and rail weighing is crucial in virtually every aspect of rail operation, from monitoring product deliveries to avoiding overloading penalties. Some of the reasons for weighing rail cars and wagons include: 

  • To invoice clients for the amount of product shipped
  • To ensure your shipper isn’t overcharging
  • To determine the weight of cars and wagons to collect freight revenue from shippers
  • To avoid overloading, which can damage cars, wagons and rail infrastructure, and avoid eccentric loading, which can lead to derailments
  • For asset management to minimize high impact loads, especially at track discontinuities like track joints, turnouts and crossings
