The GO-A3-PW is an air-powered Gate Opener on a wheeled-cart with manual control of both its pivot wheels (follow traveling gate), and height adjustment (accommodates varied height capstans). The GO-A3-PW 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) railcars with either fixed position or traveling gate mechanisms; (3) track side surface is level, smooth, and unobstructed (for traveling gate mechanisms; (4) railcars with varied height capstan/gate mechanisms.

GO-A3-PW Gate Opener Features

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

  • OPERATES AT 83 dBA -- To accommodate noise restrictions at plant and unloading site operations.

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

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

  • ECONOMICAL TO PURCHASE -- To meet even the tightest budget when a wheeled cart gate opener is required.

  • ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT OPERATING MECHANISM -- To easily compensate for differing height gates, or variations in unloading site decks or platforms.

  • HEAVY-DUTY STEEL TUBE FRAME -- To withstand the rugged operating conditions at unloading sites.

  • DURABLE WHEEL AND PNEUMATIC TIRE ASSEMBLIES -- To easily maneuver over rough rail-side conditions.
