Modern Rail Capital Covered Hoppers

Our small covered hoppers are designed for dry bulk loads that require protection from the weather – including cement, sand, roofing granules, petroleum coke and other materials. The all-steel hoppers are equipped with three 30-inch diameter roof hatches for loading and two gravity discharge outlets.

Our medium covered hoppers are all-steel and designed for dry bulk loads that require protection from the weather – including corn, soybeans, meal, wheat, grains and other products. Products are loaded through top hatches and unloaded through wide, gravity gates at the bottom of the railcar.

Our large covered hoppers are all-steel and designed for plastic resin pellets, with over 6,200 cubic feet to allow for maximum payloads. Products are loaded through 10 hatches at the top of the railcar and unloaded through bottom outlets.

Due to the expensive nature of drying commodities such as distillers grain, jumbo covered hoppers are a practical choice if you need to ship large amounts of product that must have protection from damage caused by weather.

If you’re shipping a product with strict guidelines like carbon black, it’s beneficial to choose a specialized railcar designed specifically for that material.

We are willing to work with you on any specialty covered hopper configurations to meet your specific needs. Cars can be built in various capacities and materials, such as stainless steel or with linings. They can also be designed for gravity, pneumatic and pressure differential unloading.
