What is liftgate and do I need it? When the shipping or receiving address does not have a loading dock, manual loading or unloading is necessary. A liftgate is a platform at the back of certain trucks that can raise and lower a shipment from the ground to the truck. If you do not have a loading dock and your item is over 150 lbs, you need liftgate service. If you need liftgate service, be sure to let us know when you order. Put a check in to the liftgate box, above the Buy now button. |
