The GO-E2 uses a 5-HP motor to generate a constant speed of 34-RPM and a power output of 2,000 ft-lb during surge and 875 ft-lb during operation.

The GO-E2 is an electric-powered Railcar Gate Opener with a rotating platform (for a full 360° swivel) on a rolling carriage (to mount to secured-to-ground W-beam), utilizing pendant controlled, instant Forward-Reverse action, and a telescoping drive shaft with both vertical and horizontal adjustment (to follow traveling gate; accommodate varied height capstans).

The GO-E2 Railcar Gate Opener is well suited for worksites that experience:

  • Railcars that vary from easy-to-open to moderately-difficult because they are well maintained and regularly repaired;
  • Hopper cars with either fixed position or traveling gate mechanisms;
  • Limited or no compressed air supply;
  • Railcars with varied height capstan / gate mechanisms;
  • Rough or uneven trackside terrain making opener maneuverability an issue.
GO-E2 Railcar Gate Opener Features

Rotating Platform on Rolling Carriage

180° pivot 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. The Rolling Carriage locates and locks-down the Opener directly opposite every gate, anywhere along the unloading site.

Heavy-Duty Telescoping Drive Shaft (TDS)

Telescopes 48″ to 80.5″ (longer lengths available) and angles 50° vertical and horizontal to accommodate both traveling gate mechanisms and varied height gates.

Capstan Drive Fitting

Precision machined, 4140 tool steel, 1-piece step-tapered drive tip 1-1/4″ x 1-1/2″ sq shank using HD set-screw retainer will last through hundreds of gate openings.

Pendant Control Motor Starter

Pushbutton control up to 20′ from railcar gate enables instantaneous forward/reverse job of gear motor to rock-open even stubborn gates.

1-Worker Positioning & Operation

Enables greater productivity and reduced man power planning.

Easy-Lift, Manual Height Adjustment

Easily compensates for differing height gates, or variations in unloading site docks or platforms.

Inverter Duty 5-HP Motor

Provides low noise, low maintenance, and high durability. Manufactured to AGMA Class 3 standards allows 275% momentary overload capacity.

Economical to Purchase

Meets even the tightest budget when an electric powered Gate Opener is required.
