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.

POGO IV Gate Opener
Description N/A The original POGO I was developed to provide a safer and more efficient method for opening railroad hopper car gates. Designed for gates with stationary drive mechanisms, this durable model will provide ease of operations and years of reliable service. N/A The POGO II is designed to operate on an overhead monorail system which allows the unit to travel the full length of the rail car. This works well where car side clearance is limited. Since the air supply can be fed from above, the work area is left clear of air hoses, thereby reducing hazards. N/A The POGO III is the most versatile POGO, designed to open gates with both the stationary style and rolling style drive mechanisms. Unique to this model are its pneumatic controls (drive direction/wheel rotation). With the touch of a switch the wheels rotate 90 degrees to allow the machine to roll with the gate while opening and closing. N/A The POGO IV was specifically designed to operate safely in a space as narrow as 40". The steering control arm allows the operator to easily position the QUAD. Once in place the pneumatic controls raise, lower, advance and retract the power unit. Another set of controls change the direction of the drive bit. The POGO IV is very easy to operate and safe.

Additional Information N/A 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.
