Abstract: A portable rotary trailer tipper is provided for emptying the trailer contents through opening the open top of the trailer. The tipper includes an elongated transport that is portable and supports a trailer inverter. A platform for supporting the trailer is positioned along one side of the transport. A dumping chute for receiving the material dumped from the trailer is positioned along the opposite side of the transport. A trailer positioned upon the platform is engaged by the inverter then rotated upwardly and across the transport to dump material from the trailer into the chute. The chute directs the dumped material into a landfill site. A method of emptying material successively from a stream of trailers is also provided.
Abstract: A car repair station is disclosed having sequential way stations along a continuous track for the assemblyline repair of railroad cars, preferably of the Hopper type. The car passes into and under paired gantries at a second way station. These paired gantries are positioned at each end of the car and include a vertically moveable, horizontal lifting beam which moves up and down the gantry. The lifting beams have protruding therefrom a bell crank. When the bell cranks fasten to the coupler pockets and additional fastening is made to other portions of the car body the car is lifted by raising of the lifting beams and rotated about a longitudinal axis which is substantially coincident with its center of gravity. The car trucks are wheeled away through a turntable system, and the car is rotated on its side and lowered to two platforms with the gantry cranes, horizontal lifting beam, and bell cranks releasing the car.
