PTW1
The Portable, In-Motion, Dynamic Train Weighing System

The Weighwell PTW1 is a portable, dynamic rail weighing system that allows the "in-motion" weighing of axles, wagons and trains. It can be carried by two men to a rail vehicle in any location and installed in just 15 minutes.

The PTW1 is designed to identify individual axle weight overloads that, if undetected, could lead to excessive wear and stress to wheel profiles, axle boxes, bearings, gear boxes, final drive units and suspension components. Therefore it is an ideal rail scale solution to provide check-weighing results for the heavy industrial steel, cement, gypsum and minerals markets.
