Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need a liftgate?

A liftgate provides access to the bed of a pickup truck, van, trailer, etc., allowing you to load and unload cargo quickly. It also helps prevent damage to the vehicle itself by operating with limited ground clearance. In addition, they make quicker drops for heavy loads, such as skids, pallets, and trailers.

What is a power liftgate?
A power liftgate is a type of electric liftgate that uses electricity instead of hydraulics to open and close the door. Power liftgates have a motor that automatically opens and closes the door, which is easier to use than traditional manual liftgates.
How long do liftgates last?
Most liftgates can last at least 20 years. Some top-quality products and models may even last longer depending on usage and attention to detail, such as routine servicing and maintenance.
What are the different types of lift gates?

There are many different kinds of liftgates available. Here are the most common types:

  • Manual Liftgates
  • Power Liftgates
  • Hydraulic Lift
  • Electric Liftgates

Are lightweight liftgates reliable?
Yes! Lightweight liftgates are more durable because they weigh less than heavier liftgates. However, if you want something that’s going to be around for a while, opt for a heavier model.
