LIFTGATE SERVICE

Mount to the chassis frame of a truck or trailer (usually a straight truck)

Store in a position against the rear doorway

Often used on stake bed trucks to provide a lifting device and a tailgate at the same time

Platforms are generally of the 'ramp ride' design

A level ride can be provided although special consideration must be given to accomplish a ramp that will touch the ground if needed

A pivoting ramp (such as an aluminum retention ramp) can be considered for ground contact

Typically mounted on pickup trucks

Same design is often modified (made wider with higher truck floor ability) to be used on high cube vans, stake beds and utility bodies

Platforms fold up vertically in the stored position as a tailgate

Basically a 'level ride' design like RailTrac models but move in an arching movement as do TuckUnders and Conventionals

Normally mounted to the truck vertical posts and the truck bed rear edge

On stake truck beds a gusset is often used and attached to the truck floor sides to create a corner post reinforcement for the liftgate

Mount to the chassis frame of a truck or trailer

Tuck and store underneath the rear of the truck or trailer

In the stored or tucked position they provide unobstructed access to the truck or trailer doorway

Typically a 'ramp ride' design but may be specified as a 'level ride' for certain models and applications
