What makes this annual event more significant is that within 24 hours of the certification of Cargill’s rail weighbridge, both the NSW State Rail and Australian Rail Track Corporation (RATC) then use this rail weighbridge to verify the weights of their own rail test carraiges.
These rail test carriages are then used for testing of the various inmotion rail weighbridges in Northern NSW, a process that requires multiple carriages of known weight to be repeatedly moved across the inmotion weighbridge to verfiy the accuracy of the inmotion rail weighbridge under test.
Accuweigh have service crews throughout Australia that regularly perform testing duties like this.
