Railcar vibrators

Pneumatic railcar vibrators VH-500, VH-500T and VH-200 discharge bridged, sticky or slightly frozen bulk cargo from any hopper railcars, cutting unloading time, downtime and operating costs.

Powerful low-frequency impacts help fully unload fertilisers, cement, ore, concentrates and minerals even in wet and freezing conditions — more effective than high-frequency vibrators and more reliable for the railcar unloading process.

Powerful impact mechanisms, an air preparation unit and rugged steel frames make our railcar vibrators dependable in the toughest operating conditions.

One operator runs the whole process — from the vibrator body or by remote control. The 180° swivelling impact head of the VH-500T unloads two hopper railcars on parallel tracks, cutting labour and unloading time.

VH-500 standard

The standard version of the VH-500 unloader facilitates the expeditious unloading of bulk materials from hopper railcars. The VH-500 has been designed for ease of use, with the entire unloading operation requiring only a single operator, thereby drastically reducing labour requirements. The product’s robust performance eliminates the need for manual cleaning of railway railcars, saving both time and effort.

Furthermore, the VH-500 is one of the most powerful railcar vibrators on the market, designed to act directly on the railcar’s walls. With an impact force of up to 550 joules per strike, this robust vibrator clears the railcar of bulk material, effortlessly dislodging even the most stubborn loads.

VH-500T turning

The T-version of the VH-500 unloader offers a faster solution for unloading bulk materials from two hopper railcars situated on parallel railway tracks. Once the first railcar has been unloaded, the rotating head can be manually rotated and locked in the opposite direction by 180°, allowing the second railcar to be unloaded on the parallel track.

The VH-500T is not only one of the most powerful railcar vibrators on the market, applying an impressive impact force directly to the railcar’s walls, and its 180° swivelling head lets a single unit serve two railcars on parallel tracks. Despite its impressive power, the VH-500T has been designed with ease of use in mind. A single operator can effortlessly control and rotate the head manually without strain, ensuring maximum efficiency in your unloading process.

VH-200 mobile

Introducing the new VH-200 Mobile Pneumatic Vibrator by Global Technics — one of the most powerful solutions on the market for unloading bulk materials from railcars. The VH-200 is engineered for maximum performance by focusing force directly on the railcar’s discharge hatches, where materials often get stuck during unloading. This precision design improves process efficiency, reducing downtime and boosting productivity.

The product offers the following key advantages:

VH-500R for rotary tippler

While rotational systems for unloading railway railcars are highly efficient, there is a risk of some cargo, particularly wet cargo, remaining in the railcar in the event of a tipped-over railcar. The VH-500R vibrators, installed on the railcar tipper, help discharge the railcar as completely as possible.

The VH-500R is a customisable solution based on the VH-500 unloaders, designed to integrate seamlessly with your rotary system. To discuss your requirements in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Pneumatic railcar unloaders speed up discharge of bulk from hopper railcars, bins, silos and conveyors, removing bottlenecks. They cut unloading time and demurrage at ports, terminals and plants, discharging fertilisers, coal and minerals more thoroughly — lifting productivity across logistics, fertiliser production, mining, agriculture and construction.
