The Support that You Need

If you’re considering purchasing a geometry trolley from a generalist railway supplier with tens, hundreds, or thousands of unrelated SKUs you might want to think twice.

A track geometry trolley is a specialized piece of equipment that requires configuration of the appropriate signal filters for your network, implementation of your geometry limits, configuration of geometry graphs for reporting, and training of your staff in both field acquisiton and office data processing.

Make sure that your supplier takes the time to show you that they have the necessary expertise to configure and use the included software and that they include a full training program that covers both field acquisition and detailed analysis of geometry data in the office.

As actual users of KZV equipment, PrecisionTrack staff are well familiar with both field operation and office data processing and have the first-hand experience and expertise required to properly configure KZV trolley field software (KrabDroid, KrabOnBoard, KrabCamera) and KZV office software applications (Krab 11).
