Railroad Scales

An efficient railway system is the core of successful commerce and business in the North American economy and also feeds our import and export markets. It is a multi billion dollar industry that includes both freight and passenger markets and involves locomotive manufacturing workshops, passenger railcar workshops, railcar manufacturers, repair shops, short lines and main lines. Operations such as transfer facilities that load, unload and weigh railroad cars are essential to commercial trade because they assure optimal loading for commercial trade, protect infrastructure, avoid overloading and overweight fines, and ensure safety. 

Southwestern Scale offers the largest breadth of railroad scales and weighing systems in the industry from traditional legal-for-trade certified scales, high and low speed in motion rail scales, portable rail scales, to engineering weight and balance scale systems for manufacturing workshops. Learn how our scales can help you run your railroad operation efficiently, protect your infrastructure and ensure safety.
