Combining the proven reliability of a 2000 Series rail scale with the advanced weighing capabilities of the In-Motion system provides a superior weighing experience.

Railroad Track Scale, this robust, fully electronic load cell has delivered reliable, accurate weighments for decades in the most demanding rail applications. It features air-tight moisture protection, an industry-leading IP69K enclosure rating, and Armour Guard stainless cable jacketing to protect its conductors

Beyond new scale installations, Fairbanks can now also convert existing static scales into an InMotion system, utilizing existing equipment as much as possible to save time and money during
installation. Our Fairbanks Sales team will review the existing site and customize a proposal for exactly what you need to get weighing quicker.
