The GO-A13-HA is an air-powered Gate Opener on a wheeled-cart with pneumatic control of both its pivot wheels (to follow traveling gate or moving train), and height adjustment (to accomodate varied height capstans). The GO-A13-HA is the wise choice for worksites which experience: (1) railcars with gates that vary from easy to extremely difficult to open range found on cars not well maintained or regularly repaired; (2) railcars with either fixed position or traveling gate mechanisms; (3) rough or uneven trackside terrain making Opener maneuverability an issue; (4) railcars with varied height capstan/gate mechanisms; (5) railcars in long train units which require rapid opening/closing during continuous movement.

GO-A13-HA Gate Opener Features

  • SELF-REGULATING, NO-REACTION-TORQUE OUTPUT OF 1,000 TO 13,000 FT-LBS -- To open even the most jammed gate in < 8 seconds.

  • BAKED-ON POWDER COAT FINISH -- To prevent rust and corrosion caused by weather and harsh environments.

  • ENGINEERED & FABRICATED FOR RUGGED USE -- To insure dependable service. Steel frame uses laser cut members, welded to AWS & ANSI Standards.

  • PRECISE WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION -- To provide excellent balance and control which minimizes operator fatigue and maximizes safety.

  • AIR-POWERED PIN LOCK PIVOT WHEELS ROTATE SMOOTHLY INTO POSITION -- To insure operator safety while maneuvering the Opener, or when used on traveling gates.

  • AIR-POWERED DRIVER MOTOR & CONTROLS -- To eliminate explosion, electrical shock, and hydraulic fluid leaks and burns; provide instant start / stop operation.
