Cardinal's railroad scales provide accurate weighing of railway cars. The weighbridge converts a section of railroad track into a scale. These scales adapt to (or will be custom-made for) any combination of car lengths.

Cardinal offers mechanical as well as electronic railroad scales, and some of the scales, such as the RSA and RSCA Series, can be used to weigh trucks as well as railway cars. This reduces costs because one scale can handle all weighing needs.

Various types of weight displays and printers are available to complete your railroad scale. They include: simple or complex electronic weight displays and printers, scoreboard readouts, traffic controls and other custom weighing systems.
