Loram’s MHC60 material handling car is the newest addition to its line of ballast maintenance equipment. The MHC60’s name comes from its 60 cubic yard hopper capacity. The MHC60 exceeds the industry standard throughput by up to 30 percent and can discharge material up to 20 percent further to either side of the track centerline in comparison to other material handling cars in the market. The machine is designed to operate around electrified track and includes an enclosed cab for safe and comfortable control of the machine. Loram has secured multiple orders from transit customers for maintenance projects involving transferring and offloading of ballast and spoils.
