**Air Broom**

Better than a push broom. Clean up dry spillage and unclog hopper chutes with a jet of high pressure air. Air Broom delivers 13 to 24 lbs./ft. of thrust, depending on input pressure used. Barrel is 48" long with extensions 36" and 60". Dead man trigger protects worker. Handle accepts 3/4" male NPT pipe thread connections.

**Hopper Car Unloading Tools**

Reversible ratchet wrench For easy to open car gates only. Ratchet action allows worker to control product flow more precisely. Wrench direction is reversed by simply flipping a ratchet key. A 16" long extension with a 2-step (1-1/4" - 1-1/2") square end brings wrench out away from car side. 30 lbs.	Gatemaster I Assembly The Gatemaster is a compact, simple to use manual tool for hard to open car gates. Through multiple gear reductions in the Gatemaster head, the worker's handle effort is multiplied 18.5 times - a considerable mechanical advantage. A maximum torque output of 3,200 ft/lbs. can be achieved by only 173 lbs. of handle effort. By comparison, the same effort on a 6 ft. pry bar would only produce about 1,000 ft/lbs. of torque. 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. 30 lbs.	Gatemaster II Assembly Adding an "assistant" torquing unit to the Gatemaster greatly reduces input handle effort need to achieve full 3,200 ft/lb output. Less worker fatigue. The "assistant" unit's 1/2" square drive mates with the main Gatemaster unit. Only 35 lbs. of input effort is needed on handle. 35 lbs.

Turning Bar The Turning Bar is 6 feet long and made of 1-1/4" dia. stress proof steel, with an angle at one end to clear the side of the car. Operator of turning bar should not jump or stand on the bar. 30 lbs. weight.	Workmaster Hopper Car Gate Opener The most powerful gate opener available - and the most convenient. Workmaster will open any rack and pinion slide gate - bar none. The impact wrench produces up to 13,000 ft/lbs of force at 85 psi. Requires 114 cfm air volume for best performance. Hose connection 1" universal style coupling. Rubber tires can be flipped sideways to move the Workmaster from gate to gate. Self-closing lever throttle, wheel pivot and forward - reverse controls are all grouped together. Two week trial offer: on receipt of a purchase order, Aldon® will ship a Workmaster Gate Opener out for a full 10 day customer trial. If the opener is returned, the customer pays all freight expense and a 10% restocking charge. Workmaster comes with standard 10" long square drive fitting and airline lubricator.

**Powerdrive Electric Gate Opener**

The combination of 1-1/2 HP, 10 rpm gear motor and telescopic drive shaft will open any car gate that is not damaged or ice bound. Instead of using one-directional, high torque hammer action, the Powerdrive relies on the instantaneous reversibility of an electric motor to "rock" the stuck gate open. The drive shaft angles 20 degrees in all directions and telescopes to reach varying socket positions. The gear motor's double shaft allows two-track gate opening. By adding the optional Sliding Carriage, the Powerdrive can work its way down a line of gates. Powerdrive assembly consists of: Gear Motor - 1-1/2 HP (10 RPM) Electrical Controls Telescopic Drive Shaft Fittings

Drawing above shows measurements needed before ordering Powerdrive Gate Opener

**Gate-Jack**

For opening cars carrying dry, granular free-flowing materials. The Gate-Jack needs 80 - 90 psi air pressure and 50 cu. ft. per minute volume of air to produce 2,000 ft/lbs. of output torque. The Gate-Jack housing mounts directly on the gate's spindle head. The operator twists the air control valve in the desired direction for the force of the Gate-Jack to be transmitted to the car gate. Control valves and hoses are provided. A 3/8" dia. lubricated airline is needed for best performance. The operator furnishes a 3 foot 1" dia. steel rod to serve as a braking bar.
