Liftgate Services for Easy Delivery and Pickup
Lift gate services are crucial for life science and technology businesses that need to move items that are too heavy or bulky to be loaded manually. It involves the use of a hydraulic lift system that is attached to the back of a delivery truck. The liftgate is used to lift heavy items onto the truck bed or to lower them to the ground. Although liftgate-equipped trucks are fairly common, not all trucks used for deliveries have liftgate systems. It's important that you confirm that a liftgate is needed when arranging the transportation.
Why You Need Liftgate Delivery Services
Here are some of the most common situations where this service is necessary:
- Heavy Items - If you are shipping large or heavy items, liftgate delivery service is essential. These items cannot be lifted by hand and require specialized equipment to transport.
- Limited Loading Dock Access - If your business has limited loading dock access, liftgate delivery service can help. The liftgate can be used to lower your items to the ground, making it easier to transport them to your desired location.
- Delivery to Residential Areas - If you are delivering items to a residential area, liftgate delivery service is often required. Most residential areas do not have loading docks, and the liftgate can be used to safely deliver your items to your customer's doorstep.
- Safety - Liftgate delivery service is important for safety reasons. Attempting to lift heavy items without the proper equipment can result in injury to the delivery driver or the recipient of the items.
