WorkMaster Electric Hopper Car Gate Openers

These Electric-Powered Gate Openers are pendant-controlled, instant Forward-Reverse action, and a Telescoping Drive Shaft (TDS) for both vertical and horizontal adjustment to follow traveling gate and accommodate varied-height capstans. They use a 5-HP motor to generate a constant speed of 34-RPM and a power output of 2,000 LB-FT during surge and 875 LBS-Ft during operation. The driveshaft telescopes 40” to 82” (longer lengths available) and angles 50° vertical and horizontal to accommodate both traveling gate mechanisms and varied-height gates. It can be purchased with a ROLLING CARRIAGE that pivots 180° and enables opening hopper car gates on parallel tracks, and a 90° pivot enables safe, out-of-the-way drive shaft protection when not in use. (In-Line series opener.)
