Description
Ecofab was founded in 1975. Our first product was a fiberglass hood that would increase the cubic capacity of woodchip cars used in B.C.'s pulp industry. Several years of prototype studies were undertaken to evaluate the design and performance of various models of hoods. Following this, several hundred hoods were produced and put into service. The performance of these early prototypes clearly demonstrated that our rigid railcar covers would allow our customers to enjoy significant cost savings through increased carrying capacity, decreased payload losses, and lower handling costs. Since then, Ecofab has developed a wide range of expertise in designing, manufacturing, handling, and servicing railcar covers to meet the needs of the railway, mining, and forest industries.
