POGO Gate Opener
(4)Pneumatically Operated Gate Opener
The Original Railcar Gate Opener (POGO) - The POGO makes opening hopper car gates faster and safer; no more pulling and pushing on long breaker bars. With its fixed wheel position, the POGO I is the most economical version of the POGO line. It is ideal for the operation that only unloads a few cars at a time.
The POGO II suspends from a customer supplied I-Beam. This configuration allows you to follow the cars down the rail while opening the gates on the run. The POGO II is available in both pneumatic and electric versions.
The POGO III is the POGO I version with pivoting wheels. It is ideal when you need to unload cars on the run but do not have an easy or economical way to attach the POGO II to an overhead I-Beam.
Using only a finger tip control, the user can bring 11,000 foot pounds of torque to bear on even the most difficult gate.

Electric Hopper Car Gate Openers
Effortless Hopper Gate OpeningThe POGO Electric is designed to be suspended from an I or H beam. A telescoping shaft equipped with a special heat treated bit is inserted into the capstan. Once inserted the drive motor will open or close the hopper gate quickly and smoothly. Heavy duty jack screws allow the operator to accurately raise and lower the shaft to align with the capstan. The whole machine rolls effortlessly along the I or H beam to allow easy alignment. A double swivel plate at the top of the machine allows the operator to rotate the telescoping shaft out of the way of the locomotive when spotting cars. /Asset/a3261.jpg
