Advantages of using in-motion weighing systems
Weighing is crucial to cost control and safety in virtually every aspect of rail operation, from monitoring product deliveries to avoiding overloading penalties. Some of the principle reasons for weighing rail cars include:
- Transaction purposes to invoice clients for the amount of product shipped or, as a customer, to ensure your shipper isn't overcharging
- To determine the mass of wagons in order to collect freight revenue from shippers
- To avoid overloading which can damage wagons and infrastructure, and eccentric loading which can lead to derailments
- For asset management to minimize high impact loads, especially at track discontinuities like track joints, turnouts or crossings
- To ensure any leakage of hazardous cargo is detected immediately upon arrival at the distribution depot
- For chemical applications, as Railweight systems don’t have any foundations or cavities to trap heavier than air explosive gases
- For load control to adjust the material flow parameters during automatic bulk loading to maximize the payload without overloading
- For production control in batching applications such as charging the furnaces producing coke to make iron
- For balancing purposes at locomotive manufacturer and repairer workshops, in order to achieve optimum traction through weight distribution
Established over 50 years ago, Railweight is part of Avery Weigh-Tronix, one of the world's leading weighing companies.
