New generation weighing wagon VPV-135K

The weighing wagon is designed for verification, calibration and repair of wagon scales. The new wagon takes into account all the disadvantages of its predecessors - weight-checking wagons model A-300 and VPV-640. In particular, it is capable of carrying 85 tonnes of reference cargo, which allows, taking into account the weight of the wagon, to carry out maintenance of railway scales with a load of up to 200 tonnes.

Increased load capacity of 135 tonnes is provided by modern three-axle bogies with inter-axle base corresponding to the base of running bogies of weighed wagons, which allows to increase the reliability of determination of metrological parameters of the scales during verification. Availability of a crane-beam allows to provide mechanisation of operations during verification works and reliable loading and unloading of reference weights and weighing trolleys. Thanks to the diesel generator, it can operate without connection to the external electrical network, which is an innovative feature for this type of equipment. In addition, the wagon is fully equipped with no...
