Weighwell
Weighwell Engineering Ltd were the first company to provide portable train weighing systems. Today with over 28 years experience and knowledge we continue to be the industry leaders with 100’s of systems worldwide. The portable Full Car Weighing System, also known as a Full Train Weighing System, provides an accurate and advanced solution for wheel balancing.
The Full Train Weighing System is an ideal innovative solution for weighing a complete rail vehicle (four or six axles) with a PTW unit under every axle. Once installed, our PTW and ptwX software gives the rail engineer the weight data for individual wheels, axles and railcars to establish if weight distribution is even. The advantage of weighing a complete rail vehicle with multiple PTW units is that it helps in reducing train maintenance depot costs and saves time whilst increasing rail safety.
Key Benefits of the Full Train Weighing System
- Ideal for 2×2 or 2×3 axle bogies with a maximum weight capacity of 120000kg and 180000kg.
- A key interface with our industry leading ptwX train weighing software or PTW indicator.
- Vehicles weighed statically in real time, providing excellent accuracy and unrivalled flexibility.
- Portable, quick and easy to install.
- Rail industries favourite for train manufacture, maintenance and refurbishment.
- Factory pre-calibration eliminates the need for the transportation of test weights or calibrated wagons.
- Achievable accuracy of 0.1% dependent on track conditions.
Our Portable Train Weigher (PTW) for full car weighing allows for greater flexibility which is fundamental when installing multiple PTW units. The benefits of this are:
- No need to remove clips or rail fastenings
- Convenient installation
- More reliable weighing
- The lightest PTW in the world
