1750 ft/lbs to 10,000 ft/lbs of torque. Track-side space can be limited with rough terrain, our walk-behind openers are adjustable for comfort and mobility as well as easy to maneuver.

Martin® Impacting Railcar Opener is a high-speed/high-torque pneumatic opener that quickly opens and closes hopper car gates.

Martin's new high-speed, high-torque railcar gate opener is strong enough to quickly open and close even the most stubborn gates. Empty more cars faster, easier, and more safely.

Adjustable to accommodate varying capstan height. Large, flat-free tires provide easy maneuverability on any surface. Wheels pivot with the pull of a lever to allow for lateral movement. The handle is adjustable, making controls suitable for various operators.

Shake It Out

Unload quickly and completely

By applying engineered vibration, railcars can be unloaded faster and emptied more completely, resulting in more cars being unloaded per day/shift and less material left in the cars.

Increase safety and productivity by preventing the need for backbreaking labor from hammering on the sides of railcars to activate the material. Our portable and powerful vibrators keep material flowing. We have an extensive line of models available to suit specific materials and/or plant requirements.

Boot-Lift® Connectors provide material containment in between railcar/truck gates being unloaded and the conveying system, eliminating the need for personnel to crawl around/under to connect/disconnect equipment. Our Boot-Lift® comes in two styles – vertical or horizontal – and several different sizes and configurations to accommodate a wide range of gate sizes and/or site arrangements.
