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 hopper, the MHC60 with 60 cubic yard hopper capacity, and the MHC80 with 80 cubic yard 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 90 hp 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.
