TRAXER DSTS Rail Scale
TRAXER DSTS is an electronic track-mounted scale designed for dynamic commercial weighing of railcars while in motion. The system allows for monitoring the loading, axle loads, bogie loads, and total weight of railcars without the need to stop the train.
The scale is unique in that it features minimalist technology integrated directly into the railroad ties. This solution requires only the necessary construction modifications to the track, allows for quick installation, and minimizes track downtime.
Rail Scale for Automatic Dynamic Weighing of Railcars
Strain gauge sensors are installed directly into the sleepers, with two sensors in each sleeper. A larger number of sensors increases the system’s robustness and measurement accuracy. TRAXER DSTS operates fully automatically as an unattended scale and can be integrated into the SCALIS RAIL system, an enterprise system, or supplemented with SCALIS Automat kiosks.

FAQ
TRAXER DSTS serves on dynamic weighing railway rail cars for movement. System checks total weight rail cars, load correction and chassis without necessities stops sets.
Yes. The TRAXER DSTS is also designed for commercial weighing and can be supplied as a scale for official verification, depending on the operation’s requirements.
The technology is integrated directly into the railroad ties. Strain gauge sensors are embedded in the ties, which reduces the scope of construction work and shortens installation time.
Yes. TRAXER DSTS can be integrated into the SCALIS RAIL system or an enterprise system, or it can be supplemented with contactless railcar tracking and SCALIS Automat kiosks.
Yes, when the system for detecting lateral load is added, it is also possible to evaluate the load on each individual wheel of the railcar.
