WAYSIDE LOAD DETECTION FOR RAIL CLEARANCE PROTECTION
Serrmi provides load detection solutions for railroads looking to identify shifted loads, high-wide clearance issues, and other potential obstruction risks along the track. These systems are designed to help detect equipment or cargo that may exceed safe operating clearances, support maintainer access, and keep inspection and service needs in mind. With options for shifted load detection, high-wide detection, IR sensor support, retrofit applications, and replacement components, Serrmi helps customers protect infrastructure, reduce unnecessary stops, and maintain safer movement through critical corridors.
Shifted Load Detectors

Supplied with 5’ steel foundations
-
Ladder guards available for all systems
-
Can be retrofitted to existing structures
-
Arms swing out of the way for track maintenance
-
Automatic reset for broken wire

Automatic backup IR system helps keep trains moving
High-Wide Detectors
-
Helps eliminate false train stops
-
Less than 12-month ROI for retrofit systems
-
IR backup takes over at wire break so trains can keep moving until the system can be reset
-
Maintainer-friendly design
-
Failsafe technology monitors sensors and provides vital output
-
Arms adjust easily and swing away for track maintenance
-
Available as a retrofit to existing sites or as a new installation
-
Close-clearance ladder version available for 2-track applications
IR Mounts & Sensor Options
Load detection systems can be supported with IR sensor and mounting options designed for field adjustability. IR mounts can be installed at 45 degrees or horizontally, with a 30-degree range of adjustment. Mounting kits are available for 2 1/2” to 8” pipe applications, giving crews flexibility when adapting the system to site conditions.
Replacement Components & System Support
Serrmi can support load detection systems with replacement components, upgraded breakaway clip-style kits, magnet and breakaway versions, sensors, VPD circuit boards, remote status units, ladder safety systems, ladder guards, and related mounting hardware. This helps customers maintain existing systems, support repairs, and extend the life of installed detection equipment.
