RAILCAR VIBRATORS

Powerful Pneumatic, Electric, and

Hydraulic Railcar Vibrators eliminate

the safety and productivity problems

associated with the dangerous,

dirty, and slow job of unloading

Hopper-Bottom Railcars. Select the

force and frequency required to

unload any type of material.

CAPSTAN REPAIR

Opening hopper car slide gates with a completely

worn Capstan Barrel is a problem. When the Barrel’s

female square is rounded-off, it resists any effort to

get a grip with a Gate Opener Drive Fitting.

WORKMASTER

offers two solutions to the

problem:

• Capstan Renew Attachment (PN: 80-10728)

• Capstan Swage Kit (PN: 33-11120)
