The GO-A2 generates a constant speed of 8-RPM, and a power output of 2,000 ft-lbs.

The GO-A2 is an air-powered, hand-portable, compact Railcar Gate Opener with handheld controls for rapid Forward-Reverse action. The GO-A2 Railcar Gate Opener can utilize its capstan drive fitting, or fit over the barrel of a worn capstan and utilize the capstan’s socket notches.

The GO-A2 Railcar Gate Opener is well suited for worksites that experience:

  • Hopper cars that vary from easy-to-open to moderately-difficult because they are well maintained and regularly repaired;
  • Railcars that have fixed position gate mechanisms only;
  • Track side surface is level, smooth, and unobstructed;
  • Narrow deck or platform precludes wheeled-cart or beam-mounted openers;
  • Site security requires portable, easy removal and storage of tools and equipment.
