Efficient hopper car unloading depends on reliable material flow and safe work practices. Railcar vibrators, paired with the correct bracket(s) for your application, deliver targeted vibration transfer that loosens stubborn or compacted material—whether unloading open-top or closed-top hopper cars. This combination eliminates manual intervention, shortens unloading cycles, and lowers the risk of injury. By improving flow consistency and equipment handling, these tools help maximize productivity while maintaining a safer, cleaner, and more efficient unloading site.

Types of Railcar Vibrators, Brackets, & Accessories

Railcar Vibrators

Powerful pneumatic, electric, and hydraulic railcar vibrators eliminate the safety and productivity problems associated with the dangerous, dirty, and slow job of unloading railcars. Select the force and frequency required to handle the particular type of material you’re unloading.

Railcar Vibrator Brackets

Male and female railcar dovetail vibrator brackets provide a safe and effective means to mount rotary or piston type railcar vibrators, enabling efficient product discharge without damaging the railcar. For railcar vibrators, we offer both male wedge brackets and clamp-on style brackets for any make of piston or rotary railcar vibrator. For the railcar, we offer multiple styles of weld-on and bolt-on female wedge brackets for the railcar’s hopper pockets, and a variety of weld-on and clamp-on brackets for vibrating the railcar from its side sill or directly to its undercarriage. The right bracket is critical for maximizing vibrator performance and safety, and compliance with Railroad Association best practices.

Railcar Vibrator Accessories

Accessories for your pneumatic railcar vibrator ensures reliable performance and longer service life. Essential add-ons include: Air Prep Rolling Carts, FRL carriers; HD hose lengths fitted for max air flow and operator safety; and more. These items maintain the consistent flow of clean, lubricated compressed air, reduce vibrator noise and wear, and simplify safe set-up and use—enabling operators to maximize the efficiency of their railcar vibrators under tough unloading conditions.
