RazerTail® Truck Unloader: An All-in-One Solution for Fast, Efficient Unloading

In the competitive world of aggregates, material handling efficiency is paramount. Superior’s RazerTail Truck Unloader offers producers a way to eliminate bottlenecks in truck unloading, simplifying and speeding their processes, and reducing costs.

Designed with mobility and efficiency in mind, this portable conveyor system is a game-changer for busy sites that demand reliable, high-capacity material handling without the headaches of traditional setups.

Features Built for Performance

  • Portability & Quick Setup
    Unlike traditional systems that require tall ramps and hours of site preparation, this design includes hydraulically-engaged onboard truck ramps and folding conveyors, which make moving from site to site efficient.
  • Versatile Truck Compatibility
    The mobile truck unloaders accommodate end dump, belly dump, and haul trucks, providing flexibility for diverse site conditions and transportation styles.
  • Self-Cleaning Ramps
    Overflow material is no problem with hydraulically operated ramps that dump any excess into the hopper, keeping the area clean and the belt moving.
  • Adjustable Height Discharge
    It allows for clean and seamless material transfer to various stacking conveyors or target equipment, accommodating different heights with ease.
  • Wrap Drive Configuration
    Accessible from ground level to improve maintenance access, the combination of conveyor pulleys provides reliable belt tensioning and reduced spillage.
  • Heavy-Duty Construction
    Built to handle tough jobs, the system is manufactured with a truss frame design, which significantly increases structural integrity compared to channel frame models.

 

Real-World Success

On a highway project requiring the stockpiling of over 170,000 tons of aggregate, one producer relied on the RazerTail Truck Unloader to unload his trucks every couple of minutes. The system’s speed and low setup requirements saved hours of downtime and thousands of dollars in ramp construction costs. Another operator praised the system’s ability to reduce spillage and ensure clean material transfer onto conveyors, enhancing safety and product quality while cutting unnecessary handling costs.

This efficiency was critical in meeting the project’s tight deadlines while minimizing disruptions on a busy job site. By eliminating the need for multiple loaders and reducing material rehandling, the RazerTail Truck Unloader not only streamlined operations but also lowered fuel and labor expenses. Producers also reported greater flexibility in managing stockpiles, allowing them to quickly adapt to changing project demands and site conditions.
