Precision Scale

Weighing Transit Cars

Client:  Edmonton Transit - Edmonton, Alberta
Problem Summary:  Edmonton Transit was loading some light rail transit cars which were going to Bombardier for a refit. In order to ship them they had to know the gross weight of the rail cars.

The Solution

The solution was to utilize 4 x 50,000-lb revere transducer load cells and when connected to a 4 channel Rice Lake Weighing Systems 920i HMI digital indicator, this formed a weighing system for Edmonton Transit to use. We had a technician go to the site and perform all of the weighments to Edmonton Transit's approval.

Equipment Used

  • Rice Lake Weighing Systems 920i HMI instrument
  • 4 x 50,000-lb revere transducer load cells
  • Precision Scale service technician
