How can I open and close a sluice gate during a power cut (power outage)?

Large automated sluice gates and penstocks often have fixed, powered actuators which can be operated locally or remotely when water flow control demands it.

However, power cuts and power outages may sometimes occur during extreme weather and high rainfall. This is likely to be the exact time you need to be opening those gates.

A portable valve actuators from Total Lockout can be the answer, this light weight, compact but extremely powerful device can be quickly deployed onto the manual override drive shaft of the fixed actuator.

Depending on torque requirements, high speed rotation can be available to quickly open (or close) your sluice gates.
