Product Category: Railroad Track Scale - "Full Utilization"
Manufacturer: Systems Associates, Inc. (SAI)
- Brochure
- Lowest Profile Available of any commercially manufactured railcar weighbridge. This design allows the construction of an efficiently designed, monolithic slab type, reinforced concrete foundation.
- Standard Above Grade configuration simplifies maintenance access and minimizes confined space issues. Open sides provide free flow ventilation and gravity water runoff. Sump pump requirements are eliminated.
- Outboard Load Cell Design reduces the transfer of wheel impact forces to the weighing system. The included load cell isolation kits provide additional impact dampening and electrical surge protection.
- Rigid Weighbridge Checking assures that rail and load cell alignments are maintained. This minimizes mitered rail end batter, extends load cell life and maintains long term system integrity.
- Factory Assembled Weighbridge Modules enable a quick and easy installation process. Upon delivery, the units are ready to be set in place. Installation can normally be completed in one day.
- Designed Per AAR/AREMA Specifications for Cooper E-80 loading. Complies with the requirements of all major railroads. Heavy capacity, Cooper E-100 designs are available as a standard option.
- NTEP Approved since 1988 (current CC #88-084A1). Meets all NIST Handbook-44 railcar weighing requirements for Class IIIL devices.
- Complete Weighing System is the standard equipment package provided by SAI. This includes site specific documentation, embedded anchors, rail attachment components, system accessories and the appropriate static or in-motion instrumentation.
Special order lengths up to 93'-6" are also available. Used in combination with SAI's standard instrumentation systems, the NP Series weighbridge is the economical solution for your certified weighing requirements.
The 15" scale height of the NP Series design offers the lowest profile available for railcar weighbridges. This configuration is ideal for an above grade installation which accommodates a simple and economical slab type foundation. This type of construction reduces your critical track downtime and rail traffic interruptions.
This is an important item that needs to be considered when you calculate the total cost of the system.
In addition to its other built in features, the NP Series weighbridge is designed to withstand the rigors of daily railcar and locomotive traffic. This includes hermetically sealed, compression load cells, rigid checking, steel approach rail supports, massive base plates and heavy weighbridge beams. This equipment is built to last.
Compliance with the requirements of the various regulatory and governing bodies is of primary concern to SAI. With the installation of an NP Series weighbridge you can be assured that your system will be accepted for commercial railcar weighing purposes.
