Portable Plug Door Opener - Footbreak


Introducing our new Door Demon® Portable Plug Door Opener. The Portable Plug Door Opener is a stand-alone unit designed to meet your needs where a forklift mounted unit does not fit. This design features safety, mobility, and adjustability in a compact and stable platform. This Door Demon® is small enough to store anywhere yet durable enough to remove the violence and hardship out of opening even the toughest, most damaged plug doors.

The Door Demon® Portable Plug Door Opener opens plug doors from a stable platform in a predictable fashion that is non-violent (handles stored energy from the recoil in the door's handle in a safe manner) to any worker thereby keeping the operator out of danger of door. Also, since the unit sits away from the freight car plug door, the operator is not prone to falling (in dock environments).
