Components

The CycloLift provides fast, safe, positive seal of the conveying equipment to covered hopper bottom railcar outlets. The pneumatic lifting boots allow the assembly to raise with the railcar hopper as it empties, maintaining the positive seal against the hopper. Railcar hopper outlet sizes vary, so adapter plates are custom-designed for each outlet configuration. Multiple adapter plates may be required for some applications.
