Introducing Our New Low Profile Rail Car Unloader For Shallow Pit & Under Rail Applications
Share
We’re excited to introduce a new addition to our material handling lineup: the Low Profile Rail Car Unloader, designed specifically for efficient unloading in shallow pit and under-rail applications.
This system was developed to solve a common challenge in railcar unloading: how to efficiently move material from rail cars when space is limited and full-depth pits aren’t practical. The result is a compact, high-performance railcar conveyor unloader that integrates seamlessly into existing systems while reducing installation complexity.

Built for Shallow Pit & Under-Rail Applications
Unlike traditional systems that require deep pits or extensive civil work, this shallow pit rail car unloader is engineered to operate with minimal clearance.
With just 18” of clearance at the tail, this unit fits easily beneath rail cars, making it ideal for:
- Facilities with limited excavation capability
- Retrofit installations
- Operations looking to reduce installation costs
Its under rail conveyor design allows material to be captured and transferred efficiently without major infrastructure changes, making it a practical solution for upgrading existing rail unloading setups.
Key Specifications
- 30” belt width for increased capacity and material flow
- 18” tail clearance for true low-profile, under-rail operation
- 6.5’ discharge height designed to feed downstream conveyors
- Optimized for conveyor-to-conveyor material transfer
- Heavy-duty construction for long-term durability
Starting at $42,500, this low profile rail car unloader provides a cost-effective solution for upgrading or expanding your railcar unloading capabilities.
Designed for Conveyor Integration
The 6.5’ discharge is specifically engineered to:
- Feed another conveyor system
- Maintain consistent material flow
- Reduce handling steps and labor
This makes it ideal for operations where material is being moved directly into processing, storage, or additional conveying equipment.
Compact, Efficient, and Easy to Deploy
As a compact rail car unloader, this unit offers a balance of performance and simplicity.
Benefits include:
- Faster installation compared to traditional unloading systems
- Reduced site preparation requirements
- Lower overall project cost
- Reliable, low-maintenance operation
Whether you’re upgrading an existing facility or planning a new installation, this system delivers efficient unloading without the complexity of larger systems.
