TRAXER DTS Rail Scale

The TRAXER DTS electronic rail scale is designed for accurate and fully automatic weighing of railroad cars while in motion (dynamic weighing). It is the ideal solution for industrial enterprises, railroad sidings, logistics centers, quarries, the chemical industry, and the energy sector, where the priority is fast and seamless commercial weighing of entire train sets without the need to stop or uncouple cars.

The scale can be designed as a single-bridge scale (with a bridge length of 4.5 m to 6 m) for weighing railcars with a solid substrate by axles or bogies, or as a multi-bridge assembly (two- to three-module). The multi-bridge design measures the vehicle’s instantaneous total weight, which eliminates the effects of sloshing and shifts in the center of gravity, making it ideal for weighing tank cars carrying liquid materials while in motion. These scales can also be used for official static weighing.

TRAXER DTS enables fully automatic weighing of each car in a train set directly as it passes over the weighbridge. The weighbridge’s flat steel construction ensures long-term, maintenance-free operation and minimal impact on the railway superstructure.

The scale is supplied as standard in a foundationless configuration, in which the compact weighing bridge with a steel frame is mounted directly on a compacted gravel bed. The second option is installation in a precast foundation pan, which is included in the delivery and significantly speeds up construction work by eliminating the need for time-consuming on-site concrete pouring.

1. Fully automatic and fast weighing of railcars while in motion (dynamic weighing)
2. Fast commercial weighing of entire train sets without disrupting operations
3. Single-span or multi-span (modular) design, depending on the type of passing railcars
4. A multi-beam system ideal for the precise weighing of tankers and liquid materials while in motion
5. The scale can also be used for static weighing of stationary railcars
6. Automatic monitoring and evaluation of axle and chassis loads
7. A flat, sturdy steel structure with module lengths ranging from 4.5 m to 10 m
8. Quick installation without the need for traditional on-site concrete pouring
9. Option for installation without a base, directly into a gravel bed or a precast trough
10. Long-term, maintenance-free operation and high reliability
11. Commercial scales with the option of official verification (calibration)
12. Suitable for use in explosive atmospheres (EEx-i)
