Pneumatic Tipping Cylinders for Dump Cars, Freight Wagons and Railway Vehicles

Reliable Tipping Technology for Bulk Material, Freight and Special-Purpose Wagons

Pneumatic tipping cylinders are essential components of modern freight wagons. They enable the controlled tilting of wagon bodies for the safe and efficient unloading of bulk materials, raw materials and industrial goods at cargo handling terminals, ports, steelworks and mines, as well as in the agricultural and construction materials industries. Thanks to their robust design and low-maintenance operation, pneumatic tipping cylinders offer a cost-effective alternative to hydraulic systems.

Our pneumatic tipping cylinders are specifically engineered to meet the demanding requirements of railway applications. They are characterized by high load capacity, long service life and reliable performance, even under challenging environmental conditions.

Applications in the Railway Industry
Pneumatic tipping cylinders are used in a wide range of applications, including:

  • Freight Wagons and Bulk Materials
  • Self-unloading wagon
  • Hopper Cars
  • Ballast Wagons
  • Ore and coal wagons
  • Rail vehicles for mining
  • Specialized Wagons for Transporting Aggregates
  • Railway Technology and Equipment

Our solutions are suitable for railway vehicle manufacturers, wagon builders, operators and maintenance providers worldwide.

Advantages of Pneumatic Tipping Cylinders

High Reliability
The use of compressed air instead of hydraulic oil eliminates the risk of hydraulic oil leaks and prevents potential environmental contamination caused by oil leakage. This reduces maintenance requirements while minimizing cleaning efforts and the need for environmental protection measures. The result is clean, reliable and low-maintenance operation.

Robust Design
The cylinders are designed for continuous operation in harsh environments and are resistant to dust, moisture, dirt and extreme temperature fluctuations.

Low-Maintenance Design
Durable sealing systems and high-quality materials ensure high reliability and vehicle availability. The robust design reduces maintenance requirements and contributes to a long service life.

Customized Solutions
Stroke length, piston diameter, mounting configurations, operating pressure ranges and end-of-stroke cushioning can be individually tailored to meet the requirements of each application. In addition, we design and supply the appropriate control system, tailored to specific application requirements to ensure optimal integration into the overall system.
