Opening a hopper car gate presents one type of problem, getting material to flow from the car presents an entirely different problem. But emptying a hopper car is no problem with the WORKMASTER® air driven RAIL-SHAKER™ Wedge-Mount Pocket Vibrator. The assembly's wedge-end fits all standard hopper car pocket brackets, and the wedge's top lugs keep the RAIL-SHAKER™ Vibrator from becoming jammed in the pocket. The vibrator pounds the wall of the hopper car like a fast-acting sledge hammer to break the material-to-wall bond, and its high-frequency vibration keeps the material inside stimulated to prompt instant and constant flow.

RAIL-SHAKER™ Vibrator Benefits
- IMPROVE UNLOADING EFFICIENCY -- Unpainted, precision-machined, wide base for a flat mount and maximum vibration transfer can reduce unloading time by as much as 30% while reducing carryback.
- SAVE ENERGY -- Starter Spring for instant, any position start at low PSI, low air consumption, and efficient operation uses less air than rotary vibrators with comparable force, saving you money.
- IMPROVE SAFETY -- Eliminate hazards associated with climbing around railcars and manually scraping interior walls.
- HEAVY-DUTY CONSTRUCTION -- Heavy-Duty Gasket for lifetime positive sealing and rugged ductile iron body for improved strength to weight ratio.
- MINIMAL MAINTENANCE -- Can be handled by one person. Limited maintenance required for life of Vibrator when used with filtered, lubricated air.
- SMOOTH OPERATION -- Accurately ground and polished alloy steel piston for smooth operation.
