Fixed train weighbridges mean track closures and costly civil works.

MTW
Take the scale to the train. Set up in 10–15 minutes.
MTW is a lightweight, portable train weigher for static and in-motion weighing — it fits in a car boot and installs without track downtime or civil works.

The problem / Operational challenges
Why operators switch.
Remote sidings and changing sites have no way to weigh at all.
Uneven loads and poor track levelling go unmeasured until they cause damage.
The result / Measurable value
Less cost. More certainty.
Save Money
No rail cutting, welding or civil works; transport it in a car, utility vehicle or train cabin.
Save Time
Two people install it in 10–15 minutes, with real-time weights on screen or printed instantly.
Reduce Wear & Tear
Measures wheel, axle, bogie and total vehicle weight so loads stay balanced; MTW-MS also assists track levelling and COG balancing.
How it works / From load to readout
Precision, step by step.
- 01
Measure the height to determine the correct packer size.
- 02
Insert the MTW into the track and expand it using the threaded support poles.
- 03
Attach the rail shoe to fit the rail type.
- 04
Connect the cables (or use the wireless option) and start weighing.
