The design of the 2000 Series Railroad Track Scale incorporates hermetically-sealed, stain-
less steel rocker column load cells, each with a capacity of 110,000 lbs. The combination of a
level approach, rocker column load cells, and checking system permits the scale slight move-
ment to mitigate the forces applied to it.
Each module features four removable panels for service access. Interface to a Fairbanks
2500 Series Digital Weight Indicator with INTALOGIX technology is standard.
The purchased scale will include the modules, anchor bolts, loadcells, checking system,
smart sectional controllers, power supply, and ground rods.
