SpreadScan: Gauge Widening Monitoring System
Track gauge can widen under load due to poor tie and ballast conditions increasing the chance for a fall-in derailment.
The SpreadScan system permits precise and continuous measurements of gauge widening with every rolling stock movement.
The SpreadScan is held securely in place using a magnetic attachment and the onboard Li-ion battery system is capable of providing 40 hours of operation.
Device setup as well as data transfer and display can be performed via a cell phone, tablet or laptop over the built-in WiFi connection.

The Support that You Need
If you’re considering purchasing measuring equipment from a generalist railway supplier with hundreds or thousands of unrelated SKUs you might want to think twice. Make sure that your supplier has the knowledge and experience to show you how to properly use the equipment in the field as well as work with data in the office.
