Rice Lake RailBoss Rail Scale

Product Overview

The Rice Lake RailBoss rail scale is a cost-effective and easy-to-install method for weighing stationary railroad cars. For weight verification and other non-NTEP needs, this system is powered by Rice Lake’s 920i® and RailBoss software. RailBoss can be purchased as an eight-section Full-Draft system, or a simpler four-section Double Draft model.

RailBoss utilizes MS quick-disconnect cable connectors which reduce unexpected maintenance and repairs. These enhanced cable connectors automatically release before reaching damaging tension, saving valuable repair time and replacement costs.

Working with Cross precision measurement experts, the RailBoss railroad scale system can easily be installed within a variety of rail applications so your operation can be up and running with an upgraded weighing solution quickly.
