By using premium materials and manufacturing practices, these rail scales are known for lasting performance.

Coupled-in-motion Rail Scales – for weighing rail cars as they travel across a section of a railroad track. These offer the highest efficiency in rail weighing. They are also rugged enough to withstand heavy loads and challenging environments year after year.

Rail Scale Conversions – to retrofit older scales by adding the latest in vehicle weighing technology, eliminating problems and extending your scales useful life. This solution helps to put an end of frequent downtime and high repair cost. Additional benefits include higher accuracy for a more profitable scale.

Combo Rail-Truck Scales – for operations requiring both solutions. Some operations require a truck scale and a rail scale.
