                       Hopper
Car Loading Platform
 

We are pleased to offer this hopper loading facility with a versatile design that enables it to be used to load hopper cars with liquid materials when track is set beneath the loading platform or used as a distribution center to load tractor trailers with fuel. In additional an optional 'conveyor system' can be used to turn the loading facility into an aggregate mixing center to load aggregate materials such as cement onto hopper cars or cement trucks. There are three 2.5” vertical tanks on the upper deck with independent gate valves that can provide a mixture of materials to the central mixing tank located on the second level deck. When the optional conveyor system is employed an aggregate such as sand or concrete mix can be brought up to the mixing tank for mixing with the supplied liquids and subsequent loading into the hopper or truck. The three upper level tanks have manway covers for inspection and cleaning plus piping down the backside for loading of liquid into the individual tanks. There is a mid-level deck for service personnel to work on plus stairs for access to all three decks. Overall dimensions for the Hopper Loading Facility are approximately 10 ½ (L) x 9 ½ (W) x 14 ½ (H) inches. The conveyor system sits 4 inches from the base of the superstructure.


Maintenance Platform

The maintenance platform sits higher than a standard loading dock to allow maintenance personnel to work on the upper levels of the train. The platform is approximately 3 inches wide by 8 3/4 inches long and comes in two heights - 2 1/4 or 2 3/4 inches high, . All platforms come standard with a guard rail. A set of stairs comes with the lead platform. When platforms in both heights are ordered stairs will be provided to transition from one height to the other. Platforms can also be assembled without the guard rail for access to two parallel tracks. Shown in the bottom two photos is a custom platform that was extended in length to be used inside a dual bay Engine shop. Just contact us with your specifications!

                                Fuel Pumps

                 

Fuel Pumps have been added to the Maintenance Platform to add some action to the railroad trackside structure! The pumps consist of rounded pump tank, a rectangular pump electrical housing and a hose assembly that swivels. The Fuel Pumps measure approximately 3/4 inch (W) x 1 3/4 inch (L) x 2 3/4 inch (H). The standard color is blue. Please visit the OnLine Store for Pricing.
