MINER AUTOLOK™ II OUTLET GATES for Hopper Cars
MINER AUTOLOK™ II OUTLET GATES for Hopper Cars
Miner Enterprises is the largest and most experienced gravity gate manufacturer in the world. That experience extends back to 1905 and is reflected in more than 1.5 million gates of ever-improving designs delivered—including 700,000+ heavy-duty AutoLOK™ II outlet gates for hopper cars.
Available in a wide range of models, Miner's AutoLOK™ gates are simple to operate and offer reliable, trouble-free discharging of grain, sugar, dry bulk chemicals, sand, cement, potash and other commodities.
All models of Miner AutoLOK™ II outlet gates provide the following features and benefits:
- Tight tolerance prevents leakage.
- Full perimeter carpet seals prevent leakage at all temperature extremes.
- The patented “lost-motion” system results in a lower opening force by allowing the lock to unlock before the door opens.
- Two-inch-wide enclosed rack and pinion with forged backstop ensures the door remains in time and protects the door from over torque.
- Door runners ensure rack and pinion stay fully engaged for reliable opening and closing.
- Tapered front end door supports allow the door to close completely before buildup can occur.
- Flat vertical walls minimize commodity buildup.
- Proven UHMW material on ridge door runners reduce friction for easier opening.
