Tailgate delivery — also called liftgate delivery — is freight service for Dawson Creek 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 Calgary through its 5-ton truck service.

When do you need tailgate delivery at the Dawson Creek end?

Use tailgate delivery when the Dawson Creek delivery location has no loading dock, no forklift, or no raised platform — common for agricultural facilities, 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 Dawson Creek destination.

What freight requires tailgate service from Calgary?

Palletized freight over 100 lbs. Agricultural equipment and machinery. Camp supplies. Construction materials. Any shipment that cannot be manually lifted from a truck bed at the Dawson Creek destination.
