GateSync®

The GateSync^® software solution independently operates the remote controlled gates on your existing ballast cars to automate ballast delivery. It takes the labor out of the ballast placement process, minimizes the amount of ballast you need to place, and cuts down on the amount of track time you need to devote to the process.

GateSync relies on pre-dump survey from our BallastSaver^® ballast assessment system. Data from BallastSaver scans are loaded into GateSync, which synchronize the opening and closing of gates on your ballast cars to place ballast exactly where it’s needed while avoiding crossings, switches and other “no dump” zones. From 2 cars to 50, GateSync provides continuous ballast unloading at up to 10 miles per hour, making light work of even the longest stretches of ballast unloading.

Bobcat Tarp System Ballast cars working in colder climates need protection from icing conditions. The bobcat system keeps employees from having to climb the car to keep ballast covered. The chain drive mechanism can be operated manually from the ground. Our new design promises to survive loader operations due to it’s design and heavy duty construction. This sliding tarp system has been fully tested and is currently operating successfully on over a dozen ballast cars, with more to come in the near future.

Bi-Directional Ballast Plow Why be stuck with a plow faced the wrong way? The Bi-Directional Ballast Plow eliminates extra time and machinery during ballast delivery. An exclusive design allows the plow to automatically shift blade positions for either direction. It’s powered by a 12v solar charged hydraulically actuated system. Positive locking mechanisms ensure safety in travel and a floating mode during plowing. Over 200 in service with Class I railroad.
