Our Multi-Railcar Weighing System Enables You to Weigh Entire Vehicles in One Seamless Operation

Proven Weighing Technology for Demanding Rail Operations

Our Multi-Railcar Weighing System is specifically designed for rail engineers who need to weigh multiple railcars at once. By deploying more than six Portable Train Weigher (PTW) units, the system accommodates a wide range of rolling stock—including railcars, trams and other multi-unit configurations.

Each PTW unit is just 500mm long, allowing for quick transport and installation, even in space-constrained or difficult environments. By placing a PTW unit beneath every axle, the system minimises the influence of uneven track conditions. This ensures accurate, repeatable weight measurements across the entire consist.

The system also integrates effortlessly with our train weighing software, displaying real-time weight data for every axle directly on your laptop. Whether you’re conducting inspections, acceptance tests or maintenance checks this capability enables confident, data-driven decisions.

Importantly, the Multi-Railcar Weighing System eliminates the need to move individual vehicles for separate weighing. Instead, the full railcar set is weighed simultaneously—reducing downtime, improving workflow and capturing highly consistent data across the entire train.

Key Advantages of Multi-Railcar Weighing

  • Consistency Across Railcars

Weighing the entire train in one action allows you to compare railcar weights under identical conditions. This consistency is harder to achieve through multiple railcar movements.

  • Increased Efficiency

By weighing multiple vehicles simultaneously, you save time and streamline operations. This makes the system particularly effective in busy manufacturing or train depot environments.

  • Cost Savings

By keeping vehicle repositioning to a minimum, the weighing process becomes faster and more efficient, helping to reduce overall operational costs.
