Libra - Trapper Rail Weighbridge

Weighing both bogies simultaneously is always the highest accuracy as it’s a single weighing transaction the same scenario as a full weighbridge. This also saves time as each wagon doesn’t require double weighing, on a single base.

Another major advantage with the Trapper, there is more wiggle room for maneuver. Compared to sensors which require the weighing wheels over a very short distance. We can build your Trapper weighbridge to suit all axle orientations and loadings, plus for all types of wagons, with room to spare.

The Trapper is available in many sizes and capacities, to suit your requirements.

The scale can be loaded in either direction, and by pulling or pushing, there is no difference, to the accuracy of the weight result.

Trapper Train Weighing Advantages

Trapper systems don’t have any moving parts. Expansion of the system is also very easy, if ever required as the system is of a modular design and construction with multiple base sizes available to support your requirements.

Weighing transactions are available from simple static weighing of each wagon, via a digital weight indicator and printer, to capture the weights, time and date. Obviously, this can be upgraded to a much more sophisticated system, typically weighing and logging each bogie / wagon / total train, automatically ignoring the Loco.
