SPECIALIZING IN HEAVY EQUIPMENT TRANSPORT & MACHINERY SHIPPING

Liftgate Services

A liftgate is a piece of equipment fitted at the back of trucks to ease freight loading and unloading services. They are made from steel or aluminum and vary in size and weight computations.

Liftgates are mostly operated through 'up' and 'down' buttons. Liftgate services are additional services offered in the absence of a dock or forklift during the pickup or freight delivery.

Importance of Lift Gate Services

Liftgate Services Reduce Physical Strain and Prevent Injury- manual lifting of cargo onto a truck can be strenuous, especially when alone. Medical problems like back strains and aches are significantly reduced by using lift gate services. Liftgate services also enhance freight safety, preventing freight damage which would translate to expensive losses.

Liftgate Services Reduce Labor Requirements-Equipment that requires liftgate services are usually heavy and might need more people to load or unload. Suffice to say, using a lift gate ensures only a few people are handling the product, reducing labor requirements, potential risks and saving time.
