Rail Vehicles Being Weighed
At the Kolkata plant, Titagarh manufactures various types of passenger rolling stock. These include metro coaches, single-decker and double-decker trains. As part of its quality assurance process, the facility required a reliable way to measure vehicle weights during final assembly.
Our Weighing Solution
To meet Titagarh’s specific production needs, Weighwell provided a Static Railcar Weighing System. This solution enables the simultaneous weighing of two bogies, allowing engineers to gather precise weight data efficiently during high-output manufacturing.
Importantly, the system’s portable design gives Titagarh the flexibility to move equipment around the facility without disrupting workflow. Its ease of use means minimal setup time is required, which helps to maintain smooth operations in a fast-paced production environment.
This weighing solution allows Titagarh to assess railcar weight distribution and verify adherence to engineering standards—ensuring each vehicle is safe, balanced and ready for service.
