Measuring wheelsets

Guaranteeing safe running and obtaining vehicle homologation requires test runs with measuring wheelsets to determine the forces at the contact point between wheel and rail. PROSE builds custom measuring wheelsets and supports you in measuring wheel-rail forces for all kinds of wheelsets.
Our services are:

Building custom measuring wheelsets
