RailBoss® Rail Scales Fit Your Yard and Budget
Running balanced rail cars at or near capacity assures the greatest efficiency and profit. RailBoss rail scale eliminates the guesswork of volumetric measuring and variable tare weights. With RailBoss, underloading, incorrect billing, overloading, rejection and fines can all be avoided.
RailBoss rail scales provide the accuracy needed for checkweighing, process monitoring, filling, record keeping and maintaining safe loads. Trains not being weighed can move across the scale at normal line speed without affecting the scale.
RailBoss' simple and straightforward design also makes it a seamless replacement for similar rail scales.
Robust Rail Car Weighing
RailBoss is a series of five-feet, 10-inch rail sections fitted with strain gauges to accurately measure the gross weight of rail cars. Each section of rail is an individual weighbridge for a single wheel. The system provides total car weight plus weight readings for individual rail trucks. Rail cars can be positioned in various ways: track mobile, tug motors, locomotives or other convenient means. Once the rail car is in position, Rice Lake's weight indicator displays the weight. Choose the 1280 Enterprise™ Series for large, color touchscreen convenience or the 920i® for standard operation.
RailBoss rail scale is designed for rail cars with five-feet, nine-inch to five-feet, 11-inch truck centers and can be installed in any location that has straight and level track for at least three car lengths. RailBoss sections are bolted onto existing track and ties, minimizing installation time and disruption of rail traffic. The standard RailBoss utilizes 90RA, 115RE or 132RE rail. Custom rail sizes are also available.
