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.
