Experience the PowerDrive Multi-Position Firsthand
This year, we will be showcasing our PowerDrive Multi-Position railcar opener—an advanced piece of equipment designed with operator safety, efficiency, and precision in mind. This innovative system eliminates manual labor risks while allowing operators full control of the railcar opening process, even from a remote location.
Here’s a breakdown of what makes the PowerDrive Multi-Position a must-see:
Key Features
- Electric over hydraulic system for maximum power and control
- 5HP 230/460 volt TEFC motor for consistent, high-performance operation
- Variable travel speed of up to 140 feet per minute
- Beam-mounted system (W6x25 beam provided by the customer)
- Adjustable shaft positioning: 24” vertical and 32” horizontal movement
- Optional wireless controls with four strategically placed cameras for full visibility
Top Benefits
- Ergonomic, single-person operation
- Reduced risk of injury with remote or manual control options
- Quiet operation (only 70 dB)
- Easy-to-maintain design with no chains
- Unmatched unloading speed and smooth torque for effortless railcar handling
A Word from Our Experts
Scott Dressler emphasizes the unique advantages of the PWR series in a video demonstration:
“The PowerDrive Multi-Position uses our proprietary hydraulic system to traverse the beam and open railcars effortlessly. With remote control capabilities, operators can remain safely out of harm’s way or even manage operations from a control room with camera support. The PWR series is built for durability and high performance—perfect for tackling abrasive materials like sand.”
Why the PowerDrive Multi-Position Stands Out
Handling heavy railcars can be a dangerous and time-consuming task without the right equipment. The PowerDrive Multi-Position addresses these challenges with features that improve both efficiency and operator safety. From ergonomically placed controls to smooth, powerful torque, this equipment keeps grain handling operations running smoothly while protecting your team from injury risks.
With the added convenience of wireless controls, operators can monitor railcar openings in real-time, reducing errors and downtime. Whether you’re managing large unit trains or handling abrasive materials, this tool is built to keep your facility productive and safe.
