Train Positioner
Heyl & Patterson’s Train Positioner can be retrofit into your existing installations and is used where fast, automatic or semi-automatic cycle times can eliminate the need for operator intervention. Used in conjunction with our rotary dumper and capable of moving a loaded train – up to 200 cars, or a single car, for a precise distance at variable speeds, it is typically employed in high capacity, rotary coupled, unit-train railcar applications.

Car Indexers
Heyl & Patterson’s Car Indexer is engineered for when you must handle mixed railcar trains that require uncoupling before dumping. Designed to handle up to 30 railcars in a string, H&P’s car indexer is the mover of choice when working with rotary-coupled cars or random car applications. Easily retrofitted into existing installations, the car indexer also eliminates the need for locomotive assistance during offloading.
