Need a Liftgate that Works with Your Dock? Tommy Gate and Van Products Have You Covered

Tommy Gate is well-known for making high-quality liftgates for all types of commercial vehicles. What you might not know, however, is that there’s a Tommy Gate railgate series, which includes a dock friendly liftgate option.

If a Tommy Gate dock friendly railgate sounds like exactly what you need, don’t worry, Van Products has you covered. We offer many Tommy Gate dock liftgate options, as well as other great commercial upfits to make your work vehicle just perfect for all your needs and purposes.

Everything You Want and Need in a Liftgate

With many different railgates on the market today, you may be wondering what makes the Tommy Gate line so special.

Well, for one thing, it’s one of the few brands that features folding platforms specifically designed to work with loading docks and even forklifts. 

You’ll also love the high quality construction, which includes a closure-assist torsion bar. If you want a dock friendly railgate that will last you for the long haul, you want a liftgate from Tommy Gate.

A Great “Drop Away” Function

One feature you’re sure to love about any Tommy Gate dock friendly railgate option is the drop away function. 

When you use this function, the platform of your liftgate can be moved out of the way as desired. This makes direct dock loading so much easier, which isn’t something you’ll find with most other liftgates currently on the market. 

Above-Bed Capabilities

Something else to appreciate about these railgates is that they all come standard with an above-bed feature. 

With this feature, you can set your platform to rise above the mainframe of the liftgate. This can really come in handy when you have a higher dock that your liftgate needs to meet.

Effective Controls

In addition to all of these features, Tommy Gate railgates come standard with a fixed toggle control.

This control is really only visible if you know where it is, which prevents tampering, accidental use, or unauthorized use. Plus, after five minutes of non-activity, the controls shut off. That way, if you forget to switch your liftgate to the off position, you don’t have to worry about it activating or moving when you don’t want it to.

This feature keeps you and your workers safe, as well as your goods. Add this to the fact that your liftgate also helps to avoid the dangers of heavy lifting, and you’ve got a perfectly-controlled, perfectly safe liftgate.

Safety Trip Bar

As if all of the safety features mentioned above weren’t enough, these railgates also come equipped with a safety trip bar.

This bar disengages the lift anytime it senses an object between the platform and the liftgate mainframe. The sensing is automatic too, so you don’t have to do anything extra to get this great safety feature. In this way, you and your items are kept safe from any accidents or misalignments that may occur.
