Dynamic weighing for solids and liquids

Ensure precision in rail transport with innovative dynamic scales that provide legal-for-trade, high-speed weighing of solids and liquids, optimizing your logistics by reducing shunting and enhancing data accuracy during transit.

Weighs and Monitors Rail Cars Dynamically

Schenck Process’s MULTIRAIL LegalWeight system is a dynamic train scale engineered for precise legal-for-trade rail car weighing. This equipment stands out by providing high-accuracy measurements during train transit, crucial for industries like chemicals, steelmaking, and logistics. The system effectively monitors wheel, axle, and wagon loads, optimizing axle load distribution and center of gravity precision. Suitable for both solids and liquids, it enables continuous weighing with integrated database systems for intelligent data analysis and remote diagnostics. Featuring a robust construction with stainless steel weighbeams and the option for an integrated control scale, it ensures durability and compliance with OIML R 106 standards. The modular design allows for fast installation with minimal rail disruption. MULTIRAIL LegalWeight maximizes operational efficiency up to 15 km/h, reducing shunting needs and supporting high-speed logistics and rail industry operations.
