Permanent bogie presses cost a fortune and lock you to one bay.
Rail / Workshop
ULTIMATE Bogie Press
Weigh and balance every bogie. Without a permanent press.
The ULTIMATE Bogie Press is a semi-portable test rig that measures individual wheel loads under applied load — so your depot proves every bogie before it leaves the workshop.

The problem / Operational challenges
Why operators switch.
Guesswork on wheel loads means uneven wear, derailment risk and failed inspections.
Overseas test rigs mean long lead times and no local support.
The result / Measurable value
Less cost. More certainty.
Save Money
Modular, bolt-together rig costs a fraction of a fixed installation and moves between depots in a standard container or rigid truck.
Save Time
Rapid setup; press points, loads and readouts all run from one control desk with a touchscreen PC.
Reduce Wear & Tear
Balanced bogies mean even wheel loading, longer wheel and rail life, fewer flat spots.
How it works / From load to readout
Precision, step by step.
- 01
Position the bogie on the weigh loadcells.
- 02
Pressing cylinders move to the bogie press points.
- 03
Apply load — single or dual ram, independent or paired.
- 04
Wheel loads and applied load display and store on the PC; print or export.
