Low Profile Rail Car Unloader (Shallow Pit Conveyor System)

Low Profile Rail Car Unloader

Our low profile rail car unloader is designed for efficient unloading in shallow pit and under-rail applications, offering a compact and cost-effective solution for transferring material from railcars to downstream conveyors.

This railcar conveyor unloader is engineered for operations where space is limited and traditional deep pit systems are not practical.

Built for Shallow Pit & Under-Rail Applications

This shallow pit rail car unloader features a low-clearance design that allows it to operate beneath railcars with minimal excavation.

With 18” tail clearance, it is ideal for:

• Retrofit installations
• Limited-depth pit designs
• Facilities looking to reduce civil work costs

As an under rail conveyor unloader, it captures and transfers material efficiently into your conveying system.

Conveyor-Fed Design for Efficient Material Flow

Unlike rail-to-truck unloaders, this unit is a conveyor-fed railcar unloading system designed to integrate directly with downstream equipment.

The discharge is engineered to:

• Feed another conveyor
• Maintain consistent material flow
• Reduce handling steps

Available Configuration

• 30” belt width for increased capacity
• 18” tail clearance for low-profile operation
• 6.5’ discharge height for conveyor-to-conveyor transfer
• Heavy-duty construction for industrial use

Compact Alternative to Traditional Rail Car Unloaders

As a compact rail car unloader, this system provides a simplified alternative to larger or heavy-duty unloading equipment.

Benefits include:

• Reduced installation requirements
• Lower project cost
• Efficient, reliable operation
