The PowerDrive Series Multi-Position Beam Mounted Hopper Gate Opener is the optimal tool for opening the toughest hopper gates in the busiest high-volume railyards.
High volume unloading areas require the highest speed, efficiency, and obviously safety. Our new PowerDrive Multi-Position unit provides all of this, allowing the operator to control the unit from a comfortable position. This unit features our largest electric over hydraulic system. With simple hand controls or the optional remote transmitter, the operator can traverse the beam while adjusting drive bit height and position to fit any railcar.
The shaft RPM’s are the fastest in our product line, and our highest torque hydraulic motor is included as a standard feature to ensure that your operation is not slowed down by tough hopper gates.
To optimize space, the front end of the unit rotates 90 degrees to remove the shaft and drive bit from the railcar path, and to provide a clear walkway. This feature, along
with customizable shaft lengths, allows for the unit to fit in most unloading areas.
Improve safety and productivity with our NEW PowerDrive Series
