In the world of industrial logistics, time is money — especially when it comes to unloading railcars. Operators across grain terminals, steel mills, and transloading yards know the challenge all too well: hopper doors that stick, jam, or seize entirely. Whether it’s compacted materials, rust, or mechanical fatigue, manually opening these doors isn’t just inefficient — it’s a safety risk.

That’s where the Ramsey DCY-200 Railcar Winch System comes in.

Precision Power for Railcar Door Challenges

Purpose-built as a railcar winch for door-busting applications, the DCY-200 delivers the high-torque pulling power required to forcibly open stuck or sealed hopper doors — all while keeping your crew out of harm’s way. When traditional methods fail or risk injury, this winch offers a controlled, low-speed solution that minimizes downtime and maximizes productivity.

The DCY-200 is trusted across the industry as a winch for railcar unloading, especially in demanding environments where performance, durability, and safety can’t be compromised.

Why Operators Rely on the DCY-200

Railcar unloading operations present unique challenges that most winches aren’t designed to handle. The DCY-200 tackles them head-on with features that matter in the field:

✔️ High Torque at Low Speed

Delivers the force needed to open jammed doors without jerky or unpredictable motion.

✔️ Compact, Low-Mount Design

Installs easily in tight rail yard setups, platforms, or trailer-mounted systems.

✔️ Oil-Cooled Safety Brake

Automatically holds load in place — no drift, no risk — even under shock loading.

✔️ RAM-LOK® Clutch System

Allows fast cable payout and disengagement, minimizing setup time and maximizing control.

✔️ Built for Harsh Environments

With a rugged, sealed construction, this railcar winch stands up to dust, debris, and weather exposure.

✔️ Easy Maintenance

Replaceable brake discs, accessible grease points, and long-life components keep operations moving.
