Designed to reduce voids when loading materials with a low bulk density and high angle of repose, RailSpreader railcar loading systems help loadout facilities save millions in transportation costs by optimizing their loaded fill weights.
During the fill process, the RailSpreader assembly is lowered into the railcar through the loading hatch. As material flows into the hopper, a hydraulically-driven slinger disk propels the material outward, allowing the hopper to fill from the outside-in without voids. These railcar loading systems are powered by a robust hydraulic power unit and explosion-proof motors and electrical components come standard. RailSpreader functions can be programmed into existing PLC controllers for fully-automated loadout operations.

Could RailSpreader Railcar Loading Equipment Benefit Your Operation?

Breathe Easier
The RailSpreader incorporates a hood system and multiple dust control access points. When integrated with a dust collection system, dust issues can be effectively remediated – protecting the health of your employees, reducing time spent on cleanup, and simplifying compliance with environmental regulations.

A Smart Approach to Risk Management
Dust exposure, engulfment hazards, temperature stress, working at heights, and the awkward ergonomics of climbing around a railcar trying to manually level material create a persistent constellation of serious risk exposure for your facility. Laborious work in these harsh conditions makes employees difficult to retain, resulting in ongoing turnover and training costs. Automating the leveling process by replacing your scoop shovels with a convenient set of electronic controls is an investment in a comfortable and safe workplace culture.
