What is a lift gate delivery – pick up?

A liftgate (tail-lift) is the mechanical platform at the end of a truck that acts as an elevator for freight to reach the ground. Delivery locations without a dock high facility will generally need the use of a liftgate truck if the weight of any individual piece is over 75 lbs. Additional fees may apply. If you select the accessorial fee it will automatically include it in your rate quote. If you do not select it and the service is required it will be added to your bill.
