GO-A3-Application-PhotoThe WORKMASTER® GO-A3-PW Gate Opener is an air-powered Hopper Car Gate Opener on a wheeled-cart with manual control of both its pivot wheels (to follow traveling gate), and height adjustment (accommodates varied height capstans).

The GO-A3-PW Hopper Car Gate Opener is the wise choice for worksites which experience:

  • Railcars that vary from easy-to-open to moderately-difficult because they are well maintained and regularly repaired;
  • Hopper cars with either fixed position or traveling gate mechanisms;
  • Trackside surface is level, smooth, and unobstructed (for traveling gate mechanisms);
  • Railcars with varied height capstan / gate mechanisms.
