Model PTW1 - HD - Heavy Duty Portable in-Motion Train Weighing System Brochure

The PTW1 Heavy Duty (HD) is a specialised and robust system that can withstand an increased weighing range of 20t per wheel (40t per axle) and can provide reliable, accurate and efficient results for the Freight and On Track Plant markets. Primarily introduced for the USA market the PTW1 HD allows the in-motion weighing of wheels,  axles, wagons and trains and is perfectly suited to the arduous environments of the industrial steel, cement, gypsum and minerals markets. The implementation of rail vehicles with heavier axle loads is primarily to offset decreasing track-time availability and minimise higher operating costs. This results in a greater need to accurately weigh a rail vehicle due to the potential for heavier and/or uneven axle loads, which if left neglected can cause damage to rail infrastructure.
