Heyl & Patterson - Train Indexers & Positioners Mover - Brochure

Heyl & Patterson’s Train Positioners & Indexers can be used for a variety of railcar handling, loading, & unloading applications for any industry. Frequently used in the handling of crude oil, frac sand, general purpose sand, ethanol, ethane, butane, minerals & waste, these machines are capable of moving a loaded train (up to 200+ cars, or a single car) for precise distances at variable speeds, and can also be used in conjunction with our Rotary Railcar Dumper. A train positioner can be retrofit into existing installations, and are used where fast automatic or semi-automatic cycle times can eliminate the need for operator intervention. Train positioners are often employed in high capacity, rotary-coupled, unit train railcar applications.
