Tailgate delivery — also called liftgate delivery — is freight service for 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 for Sparwood commercial storefronts, camp facilities, and job sites through its 5-ton truck service.
When do you need tailgate delivery?
Use tailgate delivery when the delivery location has no loading dock, no forklift, or no raised platform. Common Sparwood scenarios include camp facilities, commercial storefronts, and ground-level job sites.
How does liftgate delivery work?
The driver lowers a hydraulic platform from the rear of the truck to ground level. The skid or pallet is rolled onto the platform. The platform lifts the freight to truck bed height for loading — or lowers it to the ground for unloading.
What freight requires tailgate service?
Palletized freight over 100 lbs. Equipment and machinery. Camp supplies. Construction materials. Any shipment that cannot be manually lifted from a truck bed.
