Back in the 1950s, my late Father worked as a warehouseman at a place where they unloaded and loaded a lot of box cars and dealing with stuck doors was a regular thing. Sometimes it took 5 guys with long prybars to force a door open with a lot of muscle power and cussing. He'd be tickled pink to see this.
I guess that's one reason why their use has declined worldwide. Most of their intended roles have been taken over by intermodal containers, which simply require a forklift to move forward and backward to load and unload goods.
Your spelling is horrendous. Doors can come off and cause quite a bit of damage to a human. Happens more often than you think cause you don't work unloading them.
Used to see these doors open and fall on employees and workers.
Good invention.
Thanks! We put safety first.
Yes sometimes the doors can fall off very dangerous !
BNSF: Don't use forklifts to open boxcars, because that can damage boxcars.
Arnold company: Are you sure about that?
That's bull sht very hard to open especially old ones.
Great machine

I wish the warehouse, I work at, still had railroad service.
I didn't realize boxcars could be so hazardous.

I was just watching music videos, I have no idea how I ended up here.
If I told my boss I wanted something like this he would fire me.
Saw lots of ahole forklift drivers use the forks.
Anybody that is still active how are those platforms where they load up the boxcars?
What is your question??
What’s the price?
Don't open with hand, it effects to brain, hart, and back.
You still need to get off the hi low to hook it so pull the door while your their quit being lazy
