Gatemaster II Railcar Gate Opener

Description:

 Our Gatemaster openers are compact, simple-to-use manual tools for hard-to-open gates.

Through planetary gear reduction in the Gatemaster head, the worker's handle effort is multiplied 18-1/2 times for Gatemaster I, a considerable mechanical advantage.

Maximum torque output of 3,200 lb.-ft. (enough to open almost all gates) can be achieved by only 173 lbs. of handle effort. The same action on a Six-foot pry bar would only produce about 1,000 lb.-ft. of torque.

Gatemaster II includes a torque multiplier, reducing the input effort to only 35 lbs.

There is no loss of effort when using the Gatemaster. The output torque is sustained until the gate opens or the operator releases the torque.

Weight: 43 lbs.
