What is a liftgate and why would I use one?
When the pick-up or deliver to location does not have a loading dock, manual loading or unloading is required. A liftgate is a platform at the back of certain trucks that can raise and lower the product from the ground to the truck. Liftgate service is always used on freight exceeding 151 lbs in weight if a loading dock is not available. If freight weight exceeds 151 lbs and loading dock is not available at pick-up and/or drop-off locations, a liftgate service must be ordered at the time your shipment is processed with Freight Dynamics.
