POGO I POGO II THE ORIGINAL MONORAIL The original POGO I  was developed to provide a safer and more efficient method for opening railroad hopper car gates. Designed for gates with stationary drive mechanisms, this durable model will provide ease of operations and years of reliable service. The POGO II  is designed to operate on an overhead monorail system which allows the unit to travel the full length of the rail car. This works well where car side clearance is limited. Since the air supply can be fed from above, the work area is left clear of air hoses, thereby reducing hazards.

Unique to this model are its pneumatic controls (drive direction/wheel rotation). With the touch of a switch the wheels rotate 90 degrees to allow the machine to roll with the gate while opening and closing. The POGO IV was specifically designed to operate safely in a space as narrow as 40". The steering control arm allows the operator to easily position the QUAD. Once in place the pneumatic controls raise, lower, advance and retract the power unit. Another set of controls change the direction of the drive bit. The POGO IV is very easy to operate and safe   Features Specs Finger Tip Control Length 28" Built-In Lubricator Width 34"-46"" Increases Efficiency Height 46"-%0"- 36" Pneumatic Reversing Switch Weight 265 lbs.
