Paul Horsfall, Managing Director said “It is a privilege to be recognised by the international weighing community at this year’s awards. This award is further recognition of the unique nature of our PTW and our extensive knowledge of the train weighing industry which has led to longstanding relationships with a variety of customers such as Hitachi, Siemens and Bombardier. This award is also testament to our commitment to providing the best service and support to our customers based on innovation and product excellence”.

Suitable for static and in-motion train weighing.

The PTW is suitable for static and in-motion train weighing without interrupting regular train movements. Our static weighing systems are primarily used within train maintenance depots, whilst our in-motion weighing systems are used within the rail freight industry. Ultimately our portable train weighing systems can be installed without any fixed track work and are designed so that we can weigh a variety of different rail vehicles such as trams, freight cars, commuter trains and high speed trains.
