Electric Hopper Car Gate Openers
POGO Hopper Car Gate Opener
Effortless Hopper Gate Opening
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.
