Capstan Socket - Hopper Gate Opener Accessory
Capstan Sockets

Part #: ARN-0072
Call for Pricing

Our replacement capstan socket has a square drive hole perfect for all types of door openers, not only the Door Demon®. The capstan socket is used when the square drive on the railcar is worn to the point at which a square tool will no longer open the door. The socket slides over the capstan and is pinned in place with a 1-inch pin to transfer the opening torque. The over-sized tube design and square drive hole make the socket usable on almost any door and opener combination on the market.

The kit comes completely assembled and is designed to easily plumb up to existing Door Demon fittings and hoses.
