Lift-Mate™ Truck & Rail Car Connector

Unloads dry bulk materials from both trucks and rail cars

The Lift-Mate truck and rail car connector is specially designed to contain dry bulk solid materials when discharging from hopper bottom rail cars or trucks. The Lift-Mate is easy to use and creates a dust-tight connection between the outlet of a hopper bottom rail car and/or truck for cleaner and faster unloading and discharging. It comes complete with an outlet flange aligner control for exact positioning of the Lift-Mate connector. This makes it simple and quick to use when trying to align to meet the outlet of the rail car or truck.

The lifting mechanism is powered by heavy-duty air springs for a smooth and safe position control. The mating connection to the truck or rail car has a replaceable, extra wide seal to provide longer life, even under severe operating conditions.

Manual air control valves are fully assembled and ready for easy floor mounting. The controls include a special lockout for security and safety purposes. The overall simplicity of the Lift-Mate connector makes maintenance easy, because the power source only requires standard available compressed air for operation.

Options:

• Stainless steel or aluminum construction

• Custom adapters for trucks and rail cars
