Transfer Cars

The cornerstone of STAR's product line has been its innovative design work with transfer cars.
Rugged and reliable, STAR transfer cars, which range in size from small, manually operated models to automated transfers that can move kiln cars weighing up to 120 tons, are custom-crafted to meet specific customer needs. All transfer cars come equipped with hydraulic power units which are also designed and manufactured by STAR. For the ultimate in efficiency and flexibility, programmable controllers are designed into all automatic STAR transfer cars.
Transfer-mounted car movers can be furnished with dogs that flip to either pull cars onto the transfer or push them off onto an adjacent track. Other options include winch assemblies, telescoping hydraulic car propellers and side cars. STAR transfer cars frames are engineered and fabricated for minimum load deflection and years of faithful service.
All STAR transfer cars are equipped with heat-treated forged alloy steel wheels, alloy axles, and double row spherical roller bearing pillow blocks.
