A powerful pneumatic railcar opener has solved persistent work slowdowns caused by difficulty opening discharge gates, allowing the Cemex Cement Terminal in Sacramento to maintain its aggressive schedule, while minimising risk to personnel and damage to gates. The Martin Railcar Opener improves unloading efficiency and speed, without gang tactics, stoop labour or excessive noise. The Cemex Sacramento plant opened in 1999 and supplies cement for concrete and ready-mix operations throughout central California. Cement is delivered to the terminal by rail from the firm's California manufacturing facilities, either from the Victorville plant, roughly 400 miles away or from the Davenport plant, a trip of about 165 miles.
