Overview
The GO-M04 is a manual-powered, hand-portable, compact Gate Opener that utilizes a 1-1/2" sq dr, extreme-duty, ratchet wrench to enable an operator to generate a no-torque-reaction power output of 400 ft-lbs with its standard 30" handle (handle & ratchet head OAL: 36"). The M04's ratchet mechanism can accept up to 5,000 ft-lbs of input torque so the handle can be lengthened using a heavy walled 2" ID pipe to increase the M04's "breaker bar" power. Because the M04 uses a 4-sided, tapered drive fitting to turn the capstan, the dangerous slippage problem that occurs using a pry bar is eliminated. The GO-M04 is the ideal Gate Opener when budget is limited and railcar unloading is infrequent.
