Car Pullers

These winch-based car puller systems position railcars under load out chutes during ship unloading. They provide accurate load control and bidirectional travel. The single-winch solution provides terminal operators with the heavy-duty load capacity required, at a fraction of the cost of conventional methods. A dual cable anchor design provides a closed-loop system, which allows the winch to move the railcars in two directions with the high level of load control needed. The winch system also provides the added benefit of all-weather durability with a high-grade epoxy finish for superior corrosion resistance. This single unit winch system provides enough power to securely move up to 10 railcars, rain or shine.
