Bottom Dumper (BD)
Load and unload your commodities fast and straightforward. Our bottom dumpers would be the best option for significantly fast loading and unloading of solid bulk commodities, especially for ore and mining.
OVERVIEW
Bottom dumper freight wagons are hopper wagons primarily used for ore transportation. They are equipped with a hopper-shaped body with an open or covered top and discharged doors on the bottom. Due to their unique design, bottom dumpers are used to transport solid bulk ore, such as coal, ballast, aggregate, sand, dust, rock, etc. Loading and unloading in these wagons is very fast and straightforward, without requiring any special equipment.
We provide efficient bottom dumpers designed with up to 30 tons of axle loads and a significantly high unloading capacity, up to 20,000 tons per hour, allowing super-heavy ore and mining transportation as fast as possible. Their self-unloading mechanism also offers a cost-effective and straightforward operation.
ADOR’s bottom dump railcars involve a high Average Annual Wagon Speed (AAWS), which refers to the average speed a wagon moves over a year. In addition, we provide fully customizable bottom dumpers that can be adapted to the project’s requirements, from the wagon’s structure to the operational features.
