| Orbital motion creates great amplitude. Recommended for damp, sticky materials. Rotary action cleans out car better than other forms of vibration. The rotary type uses a wedge or clamp bracket; both styles must be securely fastened to car. Wedge and clamp fittings are interchangeable. By buying a wedge fitting with the clamp style model (or vice versa), the shaker can be attached to all types of hopper cars. For covered hoppers (with brackets on bins) — use wedge type For open-top hoppers (or cars without brackets) — use clamp type |
Vibrator Bracket The Bracket is made of cast steel and can be welded to flat surfaces, permitting the use of any wedge type vibrator. Overall size is 8" wide X 7" long. Slot is 6-1/4" wide X 7" long. Slot tapers from 1-1/4" at top to 1/2" at bottom. 28 lbs. weight |

| The Piston shaker has a wedge-end which fits all standard covered hopper car side brackets. The wedge cannot be clamped down or secured in any other fashion except being lodged in the bracket. Lugs on the wedge keep it from becoming jammed in the bracket. 3" Dia. Piston — Good for dry, granular, free-flowing materials by PCS-3 4" Dia. Piston — Good for sticky, damp materials which cake or congeal by PCS-4 Piston shakers work like high speed sledge hammers, noisy but effective, pounding against the wall of the car bin at high frequency to agitate the material inside. Use this shaker only where there are no noise restrictions, vibration duration will be brief, and where easy movement from bin to bin is important. |

Paving can then be spread between the steel bars, leaving a clearly defined 2-1/2" flangeway next to each rail. To order: specify rail size and section. Block spacing — Concrete - every 4 feet. Block spacing — Asphalt - every 3 feet Bar dimensions: Flat - 5/8" X 3-1/2" Bar dimensions: Angle - 3-1/2" X 3" X 1/2" |
Tie & Paint Marker A 1-3/4" dia. dot of bright color marks ties, bridge timbers in need of replacement. Mark bad rail as well. Marking paint is quick drying and waterproof.

New for Summer 2008: Miracle brand cast aluminum wheel block especially designed for highway semi-trailers. The new wheel block weighs only 11 lbs. - one third the weight of a comparable iron wheel block - yet it performs equally well. The block fits tires 38" to 43". A row of teeth at the back of the block digs into the pavement, to provide better holding power. The casting is indestructible under rubber tires. |
