Closing doors on manual style open top bottom dump hopper railcars

Hello,

If anyone would like to discuss a new option for closing the doors on manual style open top bottom dump hopper railcars, let me know as we provide patented equipment for performing this specific job. These railcars are usually used for hauling aggregate, phosphate wet-rock, petcoke, ores, woodchips, and sometimes coal depending on the size of the facility. The idea came about because of the need to reduce injury and speed up unloading in these manual style cars. Opening these doors is not the issue but closing them can be unsafe and slow.

thanks,
