Martin AP5-300 Impacting Railcar Vibrator

The "Small But Mighty" Solution for Efficient Unloading

The Martin 3-inch AP5-300 is an economical, lightweight impacting linear vibrator designed to eliminate "hammer rash" and keep your materials moving. By simulating a high-frequency hammer blow, it ensures that even the most stubborn, compacted materials flow freely from railcar hopper gates.

• Low Maintenance: Built for longevity; when used with a filtered and lubricated air supply, it requires very little maintenance over its service life.
