Tailgate delivery — also called liftgate delivery — is freight service for Grande Prairie delivery locations without a raised loading dock. A hydraulic platform on the back of the truck lowers heavy skids safely to ground level. WTM Logistics provides tailgate delivery from Edmonton through its 5-ton truck service.
When do you need tailgate delivery at the Grande Prairie end?
Use tailgate delivery when the Grande Prairie delivery location has no loading dock, no forklift, or no raised platform — common for oilfield supply yards, commercial storefronts, and ground-level job sites.
How does liftgate delivery work on a long-haul route?
The truck is equipped with a hydraulic liftgate. At delivery, the driver lowers the platform to ground level, rolls the skid onto it, and lowers the freight safely. This allows dockless delivery at the Grande Prairie destination.
What freight requires tailgate service from Edmonton?
Palletized freight over 100 lbs. Oilfield equipment and machinery. Camp supplies. Construction materials. Any shipment that cannot be manually lifted from a truck bed at the Grande Prairie destination.
