Standard Car Pullers Vertical Capstan It’s designed for spotting railcars and is adaptable to many jobs requiring one-direction pulling. The operator attaches a hook to the car and manually snubs rope on capstan with sufficient tension for proper operating pull. The pulling distance is only limited by the operator’s strength in handling the rope. Both models are equipped with high starting torque TENV motors. Optional equipment includes special motors and holding brake. Specifications Pulling Capacity Motor (HP / RPM) Rope Size Dimensions (Inches) Model Typical Track Layout Centrally located...

Horizontal Drum On horizontal drum car pullers, the rope is attached to the drum which eliminates the need for snubbing and reduces handling of the rope. Up to 500 feet of rope can be stored on the drum when properly wound. Both the 14-H and 16-H models feature a heavy-duty hand wheel clutch which releases the drum to pay out stored rope and engages to pull without manual rope tension. High starting torque TENV motors are standard equipment. Optional equipment includes special motors, holding brake, variable frequency drive, sheaves, wire rope and electrical controls.

Style 970 Car Pullers Single Drum Reversible (< 14,000 # Pull) Key Features: • Single Drum Shaft Mounted Reducer: Style 970 single drum reversible (SDR) car pullers are generally used where cars must be moved or controlled in both directions along a track and where the length of travel is not in excess of the practical capacity of a single layer of rope on the drum. They also eliminate the necessity of manually relocating the hook. Since only a single layer of rope on the drum is used, there is a limit of practicable pulling distance, usually 500 feet. All single drum reversible systems require...

Style 1000 Car Pullers Double Drum Reversible Running Rope Pull up to 40,000 Lbs. Wire Rope Reeving Designed for applications where a closed rope circuit is required, the double drum extends the permissible travel range to as much as 2,000 feet. All standard double drum reversible pullers are equipped with counterweighted gravity take-ups. Driving friction is provided automatically by the counterweighted gravity take-up acting on the wire rope through the reeving. The double drum reversible (DDR) puller operates on the traction principle, and the take-up is required to provide sufficient snubbing...
