The GO-E2 is an electric-powered Gate Opener with a rotating platform (for a full 360º 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 capstant). The GO-E2 is well suited for worksites that experience: (1) Railcars that vary from easy to moderately-difficult to open range because they are well maintained and regularly repaired; (2) railcars with either fixed position or traveling gate mechanisms; (3) limited compressed air supply; (4) railcars with varied height capstan/gate mechanisms; (5) rough or uneven trackside terrain making opener manueverability an issue. The GO-E2 uses a 5-HP motor to generate a constant speed of 34-RPM and a power output of 2,000 ft-lbs during surge and 875 ft-lbs during operation.

GO-E2 Gate Opener Features:

• ROTATING PLATFORM ON ROLLING CARRIAGE
  180º pivot enables opening hopper car gates on parallel tracks, and a 90º 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 40" to 82" (longer lengths available) and angles 50º vertical and horizontal to accommodate both traveling gate mechanisms and varied height capstans.
  
  
• 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 jog of gear motor to rock-open even stubborn gates.
  
  
• 1-WORKER POSITIONING & OPERATION
  Enables greater productivity and reduced man-power planning.
  
  
• EASY-LIFE, MANUAL HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
  Easily compensates for differing height gates, or variations in unloading site docks or platforms.
  
  
• INVERTER 5-HP MOTOR
  Provides low noise, low maintenance, and high durability. Manufactured to AGMA Class 3 Standards and allows 275% momentary overload capacity.
  
  
• ECONOMICAL TO PURCHASE
  Meets even the tightest budget when an electric powered Gate Opener is required.
  
  
• OPERATES AT 66DBA
  Accommodates noise restrictions at plant and unloading site operations.
