Gen 4 Railcar Opener

Martin® Gen 4 Railcar Opener is built to open/close even the most difficult horizontal railcar hopper discharge gates.

Features and Benefits:

  • Constant and controlled force to open/close gates without damage
  • Adjustable drive tip height to accommodate varying capstan height
  • "Stepped" drive tip provides more surface engagement to capstan and reduces roll back of opener when under load
  • Quieter than impacting openers
  • Wheels pivot with the pull of a lever to allow for lateral movement

A conversion kit is available for Gen 3 Railcar Openers to upgrade these units to the new Gen 4 gearbox. See the resources section below for documentation.

Martin® Railcar Opener Ensures Smooth Unloading
Up to four times a week, the terminal receives unit trains of 40 railcars at a time. Unloading proceeds round the clock, one car every 40 minutes, until all cars are emptied allowing the train to return to the manufacturing plant for another load. To keep the trains in motion, and the terminal’s five silos full, it is important that unloading proceed smoothly.
