Inspection and Testing Equipment
Freightquip have a diverse range of accurate inspection and testing products to reliably support your operation. Our selection of turntables, stress systems and springtest equipment will ensure quality measurements for your wheelsets, bogies and axles.
Wheelset-Bogie Turntables
Turntables are an essential item in modern wheel shops and bogie overhaul operations. Allowing for quick and easy rotation of bogies and/or wheelsets for transport through different maintenance stages.
The bogie and wheelset turntables can be designed to fit any gauge and accommodate bogies from light-rail and trams to locomotives.
Both bogie and wheelset turntables can be operated manually or motorised to improved efficiency.
We offer both wheelset and bogie turntables from Whiting and Emanuel allowing us to specify the best option for the operation and budget.

Wheelset Residual Stress Inspection System
The DANOBAT PLC controlled stress inspection machine has been specifically designed and manufactured for checking the stress testing of wheelsets.
The inspection consists on measurement of the difference between the principal stresses acting circumferentially and radially in the wheel rim along a measurement trace running radially from the tread to the lower edge of the wheel rim. The measurement is done by means of two electromagnetic ultrasonic probes (EMAT) with transmitter and receiver for generation of a linearly polarized shear wave. Both probes are mounted in two separated manipulators units to test both wheels simultaneously and controlled by PLC.
Features:
The residual stress testing process is completely automatic
Highly reliable and accurate

On-track Wheel Profile Inspection System
The interaction between wheels and rails is one of the key factors on the dynamical behaviour of rolling stock, and consequently, on the safety and comfort of railway vehicles, so it’s necessary to detect with high accuracy and frequency the different parameters of the wheels, and in particular the contact profile. The DWPM, DANOBAT’s latest generation of Wheel Profile Measuring Systems, is the result of years of research and development work together with competent railway vehicle maintainers and operators.
The system measures the following wheel parameters:
- Wheel flange height
- Wheel flange thickness
- qR factor
- Back-to-back distance
- Wheel diameter
The DWPM Wheel Profile Measuring System utilises automatic data collection and analysis with connectivity to other external equipment.
Features:
Minimization of operating costs
Maximization of wheelset life cycles
