Improving Quality Control & Precise Weight Distribution During Bogie Production, Overhaul & Repair

Designed to integrate with new or existing workshop infrastructure

Originally developed for use under a bogie press, the TrackCell™ Bogie Workshop System integrates easily with both new and existing press setups. In addition, it can be used to statically weigh individual axles, railcars or locomotives—capturing precise data in a single movement.

Installed permanently into the track, the system requires only minimal track modifications and can be fully installed in just a few hours. The system uses precision-engineered loadcells that weigh directly on the wheel tyre, delivering consistent and reliable results.

The Bogie Workshop System integrates seamlessly with our static weighing interfaces either a digital indicator or PC-based software. These user-friendly interfaces provide clear, real-time data, enabling engineers to see individual wheel weights and make informed adjustments with confidence.
