Liftgate Pickup and Delivery
Ground-level access made easy—ideal for locations without loading docks.
Liftgate
What is Liftgate Pickup and Delivery?
Liftgate is a hydraulic platform on the back of a truck used to safely raise or lower heavy or oversized freight between the ground and the truck bed.
Not every delivery location has a loading dock or forklift access. Liftgates provide a practical and essential solution for delivering goods directly to places like retail storefronts, residential addresses, construction sites, or small businesses that lack the necessary equipment to handle heavy cargo.
At A2E Cartage, our liftgate-equipped trucks ensure that your freight is loaded and unloaded safely, securely, and without unnecessary delays — no matter the destination. We make it possible to deliver palletized or bulky freight with ease, even in hard-to-reach or low-infrastructure locations.

Guidelines
Rules and Limitations
While liftgate delivery offers great flexibility, there are a few things to consider to ensure safe and successful service:
Weight Limits: Most liftgates support 1,000 to 3,000 lbs per lift. Shipments exceeding this may need to be broken down or require special handling.
Accessibility: The delivery location must have flat, stable ground for the liftgate to operate. Steep inclines or soft surfaces may restrict usage.
Curbside or Threshold Only: Liftgate deliveries are typically curbside; drivers are not responsible for moving items indoors unless specified by contract.
Packaging Requirements: Freight should be palletized or crated for stability during lifting.
If you’re unsure whether liftgate delivery is right for your shipment or location, our team is here to help assess your needs.
