Cold Forge supplies VoidEase digital track void meters for measuring vertical track deflection under dynamic rail loading.
VoidEase attaches magnetically to the web of the rail and measures vertical track movement in millimetres or inches while trains pass over the site.
It is designed to support faster, safer and more consistent identification of track voiding, pumping sleepers and vertical deflection issues without requiring ballast removal.
- Identifying vertical track deflection under live dynamic load
- Investigating pumping sleepers and track voiding
- Measuring rail movement in millimetres or inches
- Supporting track inspection and defect investigation
- Supporting ballast, formation and sleeper condition assessment
- Prioritising maintenance interventions
- Verifying maintenance work after tamping, ballast correction or sleeper support works
- Reducing manual measurement exposure where the application allows
- Capturing more consistent measurement data than visual inspection alone
VoidEase is relevant where track teams need a practical way to measure vertical rail movement quickly, without removing ballast or relying only on subjective visual assessment.
Cold Forge supports Australian customers with product identification, availability, supply and application support for the relevant rail network, inspection task and maintenance requirement.
