Railgate Series: Dock-Friendly Features
Dock-friendly platforms fold and can be lowered to a vertical position, allowing for easy loading with a dock or forklift.


Drop-Away Function
The “drop away” position allows for the liftgate platform to be easily moved out of the way of direct dock loading.

Above-Bed Travel
All “dock-friendly” model railgates come with standard above-bed capability, allowing the platform to rise above the liftgate mainframe to meet additional dock height.
