Avery Weigh-Tronix

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
To avoid overloading and avoid eccentric loading, which can damage cars, wagons and rail infrastructure and lead to derailments
To minimize high impact loads, especially at track discontinuities like track joints, turnouts and crossings

We offer a range of accurate, affordable and robust train and rail weighing scales.
