UNION TANK CAR AND YOU; QUALITY PARTNERS FOR THE LONG HAUL

As new plastics markets develop each day in a variety of industries, quality has never been more critical. With end users now ranging from beverage containers to blood bags, product purity can literally become a matter of life or death.

Your efforts to supply plastics that meet these increased standards are only as successful as the condition of the shipments by our customers. That's why Union Tank Car Co. concentrates on providing the best performing covered plastics hopper cars available.

The flexible UTCX cars effectively transport plastic pellets, flakes and resins of all sizes. Both 5,800 and 6,270 cubic foot cars are built to accommodate the new 286,000 lb. gross rail limits for plastics shipments.

From top hatches to bottom unloading gates, UTCX covered hopper cars are built to protect against even the smallest product contamination. And they are designed with features for each and effective end-user unloading, while simplifying loading and maintenance at your end.

In the highly competitive plastics industry, UTCX cars can put your products on the inside track.
