What if opening even the toughest railcar gates could be safer, easier, and mobile?
That’s exactly what the DC Battery Two-Wheel Hopper Gate Opener delivers. Designed with worker safety and productivity in mind, this powerful unit takes the effort out of manual railcar gate operation while ensuring reliable performance in any location.
Whether you’re a safety manager focused on preventing injuries, an operations manager looking to boost efficiency, or an operator needing versatile equipment, this solution checks all the boxes.
Why Choose a DC Battery-Powered Solution?
The DC Two-Wheel Hopper Gate Opener stands out for its mobility and versatility. Being battery-powered, it eliminates the need for fixed power sources like three-phase AC or pneumatic systems, making it ideal for remote work sites or environments where mobility is key.
- Up to 30 Gates Per Charge: Each charge can power the opener through approximately 30 railcar gates, maintaining full performance until the very last operation.
- Extended Battery Life: For gates that open easily or for empty cars, the battery can last significantly longer, further maximizing productivity.
Compact and Mobile Design: With its ability to side-shift wheels and adjust the shaft height (6” to 20”), this unit is perfect for tight spaces and diverse operational setups.
Prioritizing Operator Safety
Safety is the cornerstone of the DC Two-Wheel Hopper Gate Opener’s design. Manual gate opening exposes workers to risks, including repetitive strain injuries and high torque accidents. This unit addresses these risks with:
- Stabilizer Bar: Suppresses torque, reducing strain and ensuring stable operation for a single user.
- Noise Control: Operates at under 80dB, minimizing noise hazards in compliance with hearing safety guidelines.
- Safety Yellow Coating: Increases visibility, reducing the likelihood of accidents in busy environments.
By replacing manual effort with reliable, battery-powered torque, this opener significantly reduces the risk of injuries while improving ease of use for operators.
Boost Productivity with Advanced Features
Efficiency and adaptability are essential in grain handling and railcar operations. The DC Two-Wheel Hopper Gate Opener excels in these areas with features designed to save time and effort:
- Adjustable Stability Bar: Provides torque stability, ensuring smooth operation for even the toughest gates.
- Side-Shift Wheels: Fully maneuverable wheels make it easier to navigate tight spaces.
- Power Lift Shaft Adjustment: Quickly position the shaft to match the gate capstan, improving setup speed and accuracy.
- Hydraulic Motor Design: Delivers continuous torque to tackle hard-to-open gates with ease.
Perfect for Grain Handling and Beyond
The DC Two-Wheel Hopper Gate Opener is a game-changer in grain handling, railcar unloading, and other industrial operations. It’s specifically designed to:
- Improve Safety: Eliminate manual effort and reduce operator injuries.
- Enhance Mobility: Operate effectively in any environment, regardless of available power sources.
- Save Time: Speed up operations with intuitive adjustments and robust performance.
