Trailer side door liftgate option

Sept. 19, 2013

Maxon Lift Corp. has released a new trailer side door liftgate that is fully galvanized. The RA Slidelift Series is purpose-built and encompasses wide arm configurations for greater stability and maximum trailer side rail clearance capabilities, Maxon said.

The liftgate comes standard in 3,500 lbs. and 4,500 lbs. lifting capacities. The new design makes use of the full trailer width resulting in large 48 in., 60 in., and 82 in. wide platforms with depths of 55 in. and 79 in.

The RA features two hydraulic lifting cylinders with bi-directional lock valves and comes completely assembled and prefilled with hydraulic oil. Additional features include greaseable pins and bushings at all pivot points.

“Meeting our customer’s needs is our first priority”, said Brent Stratton, co-oresident of Maxon. “Customers asked us for a trailer side door gate built to Maxon standards and that’s what we proudly launch today – the RA.”
