Pit Type Electronic Railroad Track Scales

The massively constructed, heavy steel weighbridge is stabilized laterally with checkrods and other specially designed restraints. Weighrails are sealed into the platform. Special design techniques and manufacturing procedures prevent excessive moisture, dirt and foreign materials from entering the pit.

The rugged electronic scale design provides accuracy, dependability, and exceptionally long-term service. Since there are no moving parts, no replacement of intricate, sensitive or delicate scale mechanisms will be needed. Down time is infrequent and longevity is assured. Load cells are hermetically sealed against moisture. Optional stainless steel load cells are available for added service.

The unique weighbridge design prevents lateral forces, caused from rail traffic going on and off the platform, from being transmitted to the load cells. Special load cell restraints contain flexures which maintain proper position of all load bearing plates. These special restraints also include shock absorbent material which absorbs the shock created from heavy railroad traffic.

This scale features the 777 digital weight indicator, a high speed dot matrix ticket printer, massive weighbridge, fast installation, tool steel pivots and bearings, and unbreakable steel levers.
