Universal Joint

Covered Hopper Cars come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and the height of a capstan and the surrounding terrain can vary just as much. WORKMASTER's heavy duty Universal Joint can overcome these height variances by positioning your Drive Fitting directly in-line with the center of the capstan. Correct alignment with the capstan is critical to the life of your Gate Opener and can insure the solid in-line entry of the Drive Fitting on even the steepest of railroad slopes.

Universal Joint prevents damage to capstan sockets by ensuring solid in-line entry of the drive fitting on steep railbed slopes. Secure and remove it in a snap, without tools, thanks to the O-ring secured pin design.
