The Door Buster Combination Boxcar Opener.
This innovative device combines the best features of our boxcar plug door opener and sliding door opener, making it the ultimate tool for safely and efficiently opening all types of boxcar doors with a single unit.
Why the Door Buster Boxcar Opener is Essential
Boxcar doors can be notoriously difficult and hazardous to open. Whether due to damage or shifted loads, these doors pose significant risks to operators.
The Door Buster is designed to mitigate these risks by removing the operator from two primary danger zones:
- The potential stored energy in the plug door handle
- The sliding door itself
This is especially crucial if the load has shifted or if the door was previously damaged. Unlike other methods, the Door Buster ensures the operator remains safely out of harm’s way throughout the process.
Key Features of the Door Buster
- Safe Single-Person Operation: Allows one person to safely operate the device, reducing the need for additional manpower.
- Stable, Secure Platform: Provides a reliable and sturdy base for operation.
- Safety Yellow for Visibility: The bright color enhances visibility, promoting a safer working environment.
- Predictable Performance: Delivers consistent and reliable results, minimizing downtime and operational inefficiencies.
- Minimized Injury Risk: By keeping operators at a safe distance from potentially hazardous boxcar doors, the Door Buster significantly reduces the chance of injuries.
Designed for Challenging Environments
Operators often face difficult and hazardous conditions when opening boxcar doors. The Door Buster is specifically engineered to alleviate these challenges.
It is highly effective in situations where doors are damaged, ensuring safe and efficient opening even when doors are compromised.
When loads have shifted and can end up falling onto the dock, the Door Buster protects operators by taking them out harm’s way. Additionally, the Door Buster safely manages the release of stored energy in plug door handles, which can cause handles to twist or spin unpredictably, and operates efficiently in confined spaces, enhancing safety and productivity.
Additional Benefits
- Battery Powered with Built-in Charger: Ensures the device is always ready for use, providing seamless and uninterrupted operation.
- Synthetic Ropes: Uses synthetic ropes that are stronger than steel cables and do not whip or backlash, enhancing operator safety.
Who Should Use the Door Buster?
The Door Buster is ideal for safety managers who prioritize the safety of their teams, operations managers looking to improve productivity and efficiency, and human resources and trainers who ensure employees are well-trained and equipped with the best safety tools available.
Operators and employees benefit directly from safer and more efficient working conditions, while OSHA and Environmental Health Services (EHS) can meet and exceed safety compliance standards with state-of-the-art equipment.
