At a glance

• Trakblaze’s MTW offers easy installation in under 15 minutes.
• Accurate measurements ensure regulatory compliance and cost savings.
• Pre-calibrated convenience eliminates the need for transporting test weights.
• Battery-operated functionality offers flexibility and mobility.
• Seamless compatibility with all recognised rail gauges and sizes.

Like any other form of heavy transport, ensuring safe and compliant rail transport hinges on precise weighing, balancing, and calibration of train components, be it entire wagons or individual bogies. These processes not only guarantee safe and reliable transport outcomes but also contribute to operational efficiencies by reducing maintenance and fuel costs.

However, unlike heavy road transport that enjoys flexibility, trains are constrained by fixed rail infrastructure, posing challenges in traditional weighing, balancing, and calibration methods. Fixed location sites, whether on track or in maintenance workshops, have historically addressed these challenges but often fall short of reflecting real-world loaded rail transport conditions or variations in rail infrastructure.

Enter the era of mobile rail weighing solutions, marking a significant leap in flexibility for rail freight providers and extending efficiencies beyond mere cost savings and compliance. Trakblaze’s mobile train weighing (MTW) systems bring unmatched safety, convenience, and accuracy to train weighing. Transportable by operators in vehicles or locomotive cabins, these systems can be effortlessly set up in any rail gauge at any location, streamlining weighing processes with minimal effort.

Rail weighbridges, including Trakblaze’s MTW, offer substantial benefits such as overload and out of balance     identification for enhanced safety, reduced maintenance costs, and prolonged equipment lifespan. The MTW’s versatility extends to static and in-motion weighing options, providing comprehensive weight measurements from wheels to total vehicle weight without limitations based on wagon type.

With wired and wireless data connection options, Trakblaze’s MTW ensures user efficiency and safety, allowing for immediate reporting and action, whether through onsite printouts or PC data transfers. This combination of advanced technology and practical design sets a new standard in rail weighing, paving the way for heightened efficiency and performance in rail freight operations.

Gaining Efficiency with MTW

Easy 15-Minute Installation

Experience the unparalleled efficiency of Trakblaze’s MTW mobile train weighing systems, where installation is a breeze with just two people and takes under 15 minutes in four simple steps. Say goodbye to lengthy installations and costly civil works, and track downtime, as MTW ensures minimal disruption and significant cost savings.

Accurate Measurement

MTW not only ensures accurate weighing to prevent overloaded and out of balance situations and regulatory compliance issues but also delivers considerable benefits, such as identifying overloads, improving safety, and minimising rail infrastructure and vehicle maintenance costs. This results in extended equipment lifespan and streamlined regulatory compliance management.

Easy Reporting

MTW offers both wired and wireless data connection options to the controller, ensuring significant user efficiency and safety. Whether it’s an onsite printout or data transfer to your PC, MTW facilitates immediate reporting and action, simplifying reporting tasks and saving you valuable time and effort.

Pre-Calibrated Convenience

MTW eliminates the need to transport test weights as it comes pre-calibrated, ensuring precise measurements from the moment you unpack it. Additionally, with both static and in-motion options, MTW’s design integrates a chassis arrangement with an integrated load cell, allowing for comprehensive weight measurements, including wheel, axle, bogie, and total vehicle weight. This axle-by-axle weighing approach also offers the advantage of no restrictions on wagon type, further enhancing its versatility and utility.

Battery Operated

With battery-operated functionality, MTW offers flexibility and mobility. It allows you to weigh cargo anywhere without being tethered to power sources.

Compatibility Assurance

Never worry about compatibility issues again. MTW fits all recognised rail gauges and most rail sizes, ensuring seamless integration with your existing infrastructure.

In conclusion, Trakblaze’s Mobile Rail Weighing Systems (MTW) represent a paradigm shift in weighing technology, delivering unmatched efficiency gains and operational excellence. By leveraging MTW’s easy installation, accurate measurements, pre-calibrated convenience, battery operation, easy reporting, and compatibility assurance, businesses can streamline their operations, reduce costs, and achieve optimal performance in rail cargo management.
