SmartTEH's mobile hopper car unloader handles bulk materials directly from the wagon bottom – no pit, no permanent infrastructure, no construction. The system’s specially designed carrying belt ensures gentle, damage-free handling of bulk cargo from start to finish.

Unloading hopper wagons in 4 easy steps
- The mobile unit drives under the wagon using its electric-powered wheels.
- The system's hydraulic cylinders adjust the equipment's height to align with the wagon's bottom.
- The table conveyors align with the wagon's discharge hatches using hydraulic drive.
- The belt conveyors start moving, handling bulk material gently from the wagon's bottom.
The operator of the unloading system can monitor and control the process from a stationary control cabinet or via radio remote control.
