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. /Asset/Pogo image for catalog.jpg
The 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
