Standard-compliant weighing of rail vehicles

The exact determination of wheel and wheelset forces is far more than a mere formality in modern rail transport. It is a critical safety factor, the basis for vehicle authorization, and the key to minimizing wear and tear on infrastructure and rolling stock. As an accredited testing body, we support manufacturers and operators worldwide in bringing this precision to the tracks.

 

Why vehicle weighing is crucial

Whether during new development or after major modifications: only an exactly balanced weight distribution guarantees safe running behavior, prevents derailments, and minimizes wear on wheels and rails.

We provide you with competent and standard-compliant support right from the start. In doing so, we cover the entire spectrum:

  • Prototype weighing: Metrological support during initial authorization and validation of new vehicle concepts.

  • Series weighing: Quality monitoring and documentation directly on the production line or prior to delivery.

As an accredited testing body according to EN ISO/IEC 17025, we guarantee the highest measurement accuracy, independence, and international recognition of the results. Our measurements and test reports are conducted strictly in accordance with global standard specifications:

  • EN 15654-2 (Railway applications – Measurement of vertical wheel and wheelset forces)

  • EN 14033-1 (Railway applications - Track - Railbound construction and maintenance machines - Part 1: Technical requirements for running)

With our fully documented test reports, you receive well-founded, reliable proof of the full standard compliance and quality of your vehicles.

Long-standing partnerships that speak for themselves

Trust is built through performance. For many years, we have had the privilege of supporting renowned companies in the rail industry with their projects. A particularly strong example of this continuous collaboration is our partnership with ROBEL Bahnbaumaschinen GmbH.

For ROBEL, we have already provided metrological support for numerous projects, including:

  • RoRunner for Stadtwerke München (SWM)

  • ROMIS WORK andSTORE for Mass Transit Railway (MTR) in Hongkong

  • ROMILL Trailer andSupply for Schweerbau GmbH

  • and more...
