Low-Profile Railway Scale

The Rail Hugger is engineered to give you the most advanced alternative to today's railway scales. The low-profile scale adapts to (or will be custom-made for) any combination of car lengths.

Because it is mounted above ground in a shallow, concrete foundation, there is no worry about shifting ballast resulting in weight errors. As a result, maintenance is minimized and precious track time is rarely interrupted. That translates into money saved.

Various types of weight displays and printers are available to complete your railroad scale. They include: simple or complex electronic weight displays and printers, scoreboard readouts, traffic controls and other custom weighing systems.

With the Rail Hugger, installation is rapid and simple, allowing you to get back on track fast. Weighbridge sections arrive assembled, ready to set in, and Cardinal's load cell assemblies are easy to install, just drop them in place and level. Installation can be handled locally and usually requires only about two days.
