Truck Lift Gates
Loading and unloading heavy equipment is a demanding, time-consuming, and potentially dangerous part of the job. A hydraulic lift gate is the ultimate solution, transforming your work truck into a powerhouse of efficiency. At Industrial Ladder, we are proud to offer a comprehensive range of lift gates from Tommy Gate, the industry leader in quality and innovation, to help you work smarter and safer.
What Are Truck Lift Gates?
A truck lift gate is a hydraulic or electric-hydraulic platform installed on the rear of a truck or van. It is designed to safely lift heavy cargo from the ground to the level of the truck bed and vice-versa. Using a lift gate dramatically reduces the physical strain and risk of injury associated with manual lifting, while also speeding up loading and unloading operations. For any business that moves heavy or bulky items, a lift gate is an essential piece of equipment.
Types of Truck Lift Gates
We offer a variety of Tommy Gate models to suit different vehicles and applications. Each type has a unique design and set of advantages:
- Tuckunder Series: These lift gates are designed to stow neatly underneath the vehicle's bed. This keeps the lift gate completely out of the way when not in use, providing unobstructed access to the truck bed and allowing the vehicle to back up to loading docks without interference.
- Railgate Series: High-performance, level-ride lift gates that are ideal for heavy-duty applications. Railgates run along a vertical track on the rear of the vehicle, offering exceptional stability for large, sensitive, or palletized loads.
- Cantilever Series: This series provides a versatile solution where the platform can tilt, acting as a ramp in addition to its lifting capabilities. Cantilever lifts are ideal for handling wheeled cargo and navigating changes in elevation.
- G2 Series for Pickup Trucks: The latest in parallel-arm technology, the G2 Series is specifically designed for pickup trucks. Dual hydraulic cylinders provide smooth, consistent power to both sides of the platform for superior stability and performance.
