A lift gate is an elevator-like attachment to the back of a truck. Lift gates are needed to help load and unload heavy products.
In most case, a lift gate is needed for delivery to area where a forklift or a loading dock are not available. Without lift gate service, the freight carrier will expect you to unload the items from its truck. This can lead to significant delivery delays and additional costs if you need the service and don't request it.
