Calibrating method for dynamic weighbridge for rail vehicles by lifting on jack and statically weighing vehicle using load cell

摘要

At least part of a vehicle is reared up using an auxiliary lifting jack (11) and statically weighed on a load cell (12). If required this is repeated until all parts of the vehicle have been statically weighed. The vehicle's trucks or bolsters that have already been statically weighed are then passed over the weighbridge (1). The weighbridge is calibrated by adjusting the weight indicated when weighing dynamically with the weight determined when weighing statically. An Independent claim is included for an auxiliary lifting jack.
