Frequently Asked Questions - WALTCO Liftgates
What is a liftgate?
A liftgate is a device designed to transition cargo from the truck bed to the ground and vice versa. A platform provides transition from the truck to the ground and a cylinder and an electric power unit provide power for the transition.
Why would you need a liftgate?
A liftgate is an investment that pays dividends by providing a safer, more efficient way for a driver to transition cargo to and from a truck. It also reduces potential damage to cargo, because the platform offers a smooth transition from the truck to the ground and vice versa.
Why would a truck need a liftgate?
A truck often requires a liftgate to facilitate the safe and efficient loading and unloading of heavy or bulky items. A WALTCO liftgate acts as a mechanical platform, bridging the gap between the ground and the truck bed, thereby minimizing the physical strain on workers and reducing the risk of injury. This feature is particularly vital in the transport of goods where loading docks are not available, ensuring that cargo can be handled smoothly regardless of the location.
What is the difference between liftgate and tailgate?
The difference between a liftgate and a tailgate is that a liftgate is a mechanical device that raises and lowers during loading and unloading of heavy cargo. A tailgate is a hinging board or hatch at the back of a vehicle that can be lowered for loading and unloading.
