Move More. Farther. With Less.
Loram’s MHC Series Material Handling Cars are ideal for any project involving transferring and offloading of new ballast, or excavated roadbed materials and spoils. Featuring a powerful, integrated transfer conveyor based on proven Loram components, the MHC Series provides a continuous, high-throughput flow of material for maximum productivity.
The MHC Series cars are available in three models — the MHC50 with 50 cubic yard (40 m³) hopper, the MHC60 with 60 cubic yard (45 m³) hopper capacity, and the MHC80 with 80 cubic yard (60 m³) hopper capacity. In comparison to other material handling cars on the market, the MHC Series offers a unique combination of reduced tare weight and increased material throughput capability. MHC Series cars exceed industry-standard throughput by up to 30% and can self discharge material up to 20% farther. They can connect to and receive material from undercutters, shoulder ballast cleaners, ditch cleaners, vacuum machines, material handling cars and other equipment.
The variable-speed transfer conveyor delivers an industry-leading 67 kW to discharge material at a higher rate of productivity while preventing stalling. The MHC Series cars are designed to accommodate materials ranging from UIC/AREMA-specification ballast, to the most heavily-fouled, water-saturated ballast and spoils.
