Pit Design Rail Scales
Maximizing Efficiency & Technology
Innovation on the Rails
Active Scale pit design rail scales are at the forefront of railcar weighing technology, offering unparalleled accuracy and efficiency. If your operations involve weighing railcars regularly, understanding the benefits and options of these scales is crucial.
Benefits of Pit Design Rail Scales
Pit design rail scales offer several advantages, including a lower profile that facilitates easier access for railcars and reduces the need for extensive infrastructure modifications. All Active Scale rail scales are Legal-for-trade approved, which lower-cost, competitive in-line products cannot accomplish.
The ground-level installation of pit design scales makes them ideal for sites with limited space or specific design requirements. Furthermore, these scales provide consistent accuracy, essential for compliance with industry regulations and optimizing load distribution.
Choosing the Right Scale
Whether it’s a dual deck rail car scale, full-length pit design, or hydra-deck pit design (read more below), the type of scale you choose can significantly enhance your operational efficiency and accuracy.
Full Length & Dual Deck Rail Car Scales
Our dual deck rail scales are designed for efficiency, allowing for the simultaneous weighing of an entire railcar and axle weights. This system not only saves time but also increases throughput, making it ideal for high-volume operations. The pit design of these scales enables them to be installed at ground level, ensuring easy access for railcars.
Our full-length scale can come in a train scale-only model or a duplex scale that can handle both train and truck weighing.
Hydra-Deck Pit Design Train Scales
The hydra-deck pit design Full-length Railcar Scale is an innovative solution for those seeking durability and precision.
This system uses hydraulic load cell technology to provide consistent and reliable weight measurements across the entire railcar. The pit design allows for flush installation, minimizing the impact on your existing infrastructure. The hydraulic deck’s robust construction ensures long-term performance, even in the most demanding environments.
Active Scale offers this advanced solution to meet the needs of industries requiring the highest level of accuracy and reliability.
