The Boxcar Bully accepts a maximum width fork of 6 ¾”. |

The Boxcar Bully is designed to open railcar plug doors without the danger
of physical stress to the operator. |
| • |
The Boxcar Bully is operated from the seat of a fork truck to mechanically
open the plug type boxcar doors. The Bully can be adapted to be run from many types of fork devices.
The forklift driver powers the Bully remotely. |

Two 12-volt deep cycle marine batteries of the Boxcar Bully run a 24-volt hydraulic
pump power the unit. The hydraulic pump in turn operates a small motor that turns the spindle
arm that engages the door. |

The arm of the Boxcar Bully will turn at 10 rpm: opening the door in about 20 seconds.
Since the power arm slides on the shaft, the forklift does not have to be moved when opening
the door; however, the Bully should be level when engaging the door. If you are using a forklift,
you can next use one of the extended side arms to push the door open. |
| • |
Maintenance on the Boxcar Bully is limited to checking the fluids on the
hydraulic system and the batteries. You can use standard hydraulic fluid used in your other
equipment should you need to add fluid. |
| • |
Your Boxcar Bully comes with a 24-volt battery charger. The batteries
are quite common and the charger will deliver a full charge in 4 hr. The charger will turn itself
off and even restart if needed. |
