The GO-A2 is an air-powered, hand-portable, compact Gate Opener with hand-held controls for rapid Forward-Reverse action. The GO-A2 can utilize its capstan drive fitting, or fit over a worn capstan and utilize the capstan's socket notches. The GO-A2 is well suited for worksites that experience: (1) railcars that vary from easy to moderately-difficult to open range because they are well maintained and regularly repaired; (2) majority of railcars have fixed position gate mechanisms; (3) track side surface is level, smooth, and unobstructed (for cars with traveling gate mechanisms); (4) narrow deck or platform precludes wheeled-cart or beam-mounted openers; (5) site security requires portable, easy removal and storage of tools and equipment. The GO-A2 generates a constant speed of 8-RPM, and a power output of 2,000 ft-lbs.

GO-A2 Gate Opener Features

  • SMOOTH, CONTROLLED FORCE -- To facilitate steady gate opening without concern for wear of gate mechanism.

  • OPERATES AT LESS THAN 92 dBA -- To accommodate noise restrictions at plant and unloading site operations.

  • OPERATES ON ONLY 18.5 CFM AT 90 PSI (120 PSI MAX) -- To provide energy efficient force output at a constant RPM.

  • ONE-WORKER POSITIONING AND OPERATION -- To enable greater productivity and reduced man power planning.

  • ACRYLIC ENAMEL COAT FINISH -- To reduce rust and corrosion in harsh environments.

  • ECONOMICAL TO PURCHASE -- To meet even the tightest budget when a heavy-duty, portable gate opener is required.
