Railway Weighbridge
A railway weighbridge is a large-scale weighing system used to weigh railway vehicles, such as trains, cargo wagons, and rail vehicles.
Through weighing the axes of the railway vehicles to get the total weight.
Our rail weighing scale has the features of heavy-duty capacity, quick static or dynamic weighing, easy installation and simple maintenance.

- 3.2x0.9m or 3.2x2.2m Size
- 30t or 50t Load Capacity
- Customised Solution Provide
Types of Our Railway Weighbridges
Our rail weighbridges can be classified into two main types based on their weighing method: static railway weighbridges and in-motion railway weighbridges.
Static Railway Weighbridge
It requires the railway vehicles to be completely stationary on the platform for an accurate weight measurement. The railway vehicle is typically positioned on the weighbridge, and sensors measure the weight of each axle or set of axles.
In-Motion Railway Weighbridge
It measures the weight of a railway vehicles while it is moving across the weighing platform. These systems use sophisticated sensors and technologies to weigh the railway vehicles as it passes over the platform at a constant speed (<10km/h).

Railway Weighbridge Applications
Railway weighbridges are widely used in various industries for weighing bulk goods, ensuring the correct load weight for safety, legal, and operational efficiency.
Mining and Minerals
Tracking the volume of transported mined materials, ensuring proper load compliance with regulatory standards, and minimizing discrepancies in shipping.
Agriculture and Grain
Agricultural producers and distributors use railway weighbridges to verify the weight of harvested crops and ensure accurate payment during transportation.
Metal Production
Measure the weight of raw materials like iron ore, coke, and scrap metal being transported by railcars to and from the plant, as well as the finished metals being shipped.
Construction Materials
Construction material manufacturers use railway weighbridges to ensure accurate load weights for materials being transported to building sites or distribution centers.
