LIGHT DUTY
Light duty liftgates are designed to provide easy, safe, and cost-effective lifting of light to moderate loads. Maxon’s product line features light duty options for pickup trucks, service bodies, stakebed, van bodies and cargo vans.
Maxon’s Light Duty Series liftgates are built with high performance and low maintenance in mind.
Maxon’s Me2’s feature an oversized, fully enclosed pump and motor assembly that helps ensure increased life and less downtime, while maintenance-free, grease-free bearings reduce the need for service.
Maxon’s GPC’s feature the lightest liftgates in this class with the fewest amounts of parts due to the patented X1 Technology. With a simple bolt-on installation and availability as a solid or split platform, these cargo van options were designed for high performance.

RAILIFT
Maxon was the first to bring the rail style liftgate to the United States during the 1970s. The Railift Series is a classic that never goes out of style because its heavy-duty level ride and dock loading capability are designed to handle some of the most demanding distribution requirement.
The Railift Series is ideal for bulk delivery and wheeled cargo with a combination of dock and street delivery. Railift lift gates provide a level ride through-out the lift for maximum load stability.
The ultimate goal of the groundbreaking new DMD design is to offer a high performing medium-duty Raillift combined with low maintenance needs. The DMD features two direct acting cylinders versus competing concepts with one horizontal cylinder and cables and/or pulleys. Consequently, the DMD has fewer moving parts resulting in less ongoing maintenance.
Maxon took the RC model a step further by offering the RCT, which expanded the capabilities to include a platform that stores below bed level and in dock- ready position.
DMD
- Twin cylinder lifting that eliminates maintenance costs associated with chain or cable liftgates
- Multi-temp viscosity oil ensures smooth and trouble-free liftgate operation
- Sealed switches and harnesses to protect them against corrosion
- Recessed lights and license plate holder
- All aluminum platforms
The ultimate goal of the groundbreaking new DMD design is to offer a high performing medium- duty rail-style gate combined with low maintenance needs. Additionally, the DMD has fewer moving parts resulting in less ongoing maintenance.
RC
- Heavy-duty cable lift provides capacities from 2,000 to 6,000 lbs
- Folded platform lowers below bed height for easy dock loading
- Level ride platform throughout entire travel
- Emergency cable brake for safety
- Large platform easily handles palletized or cart loads
The RC delivers heavy-duty, level-ride performance and lifting capacity up to 6,000 lbs for trucks and trailers. The RC’s platform can easily be lowered below bed height, to simplify dock loading. Combined with its high capacity, the RC makes short work of big jobs.
RCT
- Platform stores below bed level in dock ready position
- Fully automatic operation—no manual folding or unfolding
- Automatic locking mechanism
- Level ride platform
- Ideal for pallet jack or cart operations
- Integrated taillights
The RCT’s platform stores below bed height in a dock-ready position, so no additional maneuvering is needed before dock loading can begin. Combined with fully automatic operation with no manual folding or unfolding, the RCT speeds loading and deliveries.
RC-CS
- Meets the specialized needs of the gas bottle service industry
- Heavy-duty solutions
- Integrated cylinder securing system
- Fold down railing for dock loading
- Automatic fold retention railing requires no operator assistance
- Aluminum sheaves reduce wear on wire ropes
Non-conventional loading practices require unique liftgate solutions. Maxon’s RC-CS is ideal for gas bottle delivery, with a capacity of 3,000 to 4,000 lbs and features an integrated cylinder securing system.
CONVENTIONAL
Conventional liftgates are the original style of liftgate. These liftgates are stored flush against the door of trucks or trailers, and they often serve as the actual door or tailgate to these vehicles. Designed for general freight loading, conventional liftgates can be used with trucks and trailers.
Maxon’s conventional liftgate offerings provide exceptional reliability and offer a wide range of platform sizes for many different uses.
Maxon’s GPC is the first North American designed and manufactured cantilever liftgate. For applications that require the extreme flexibility, or large platform of a cantilever lift, the GPC offers superior performance, coupled with Maxon’s capable service. Now, choosing a cantilever-style gate doesn’t mean long waits for parts, or wondering who will support the gate in the future.
GPC
- North American design, manufacturing and service for seamless support
- Exceptional platform size and stability
- Lightweight aluminum platform comes standard
- Easy to install
- Low maintenance
Maxon’s GPC-series liftgates are the first North American-designed and manufactured cantilever-style gates. They provide high lifting capacity (to 4,400 lbs) with large platforms and exceptional stability for both trucks and trailers.
All of Maxon’s conventional liftgates offer exceptional stability and security, thanks to their ability to level the load on virtually any surface or terrain. Coupled with the convenience of potentially using the platform as the actual vehicle rear door and reliability that’s been proven internationally, they’re ideal for general freight handling where dock loading isn’t frequently required.
TUK-A-WAY
Maxon invented the Tuk-A-Way liftgate so that the platform can fold and stow under the truck body in the dock ready position. Today, Maxon offers a wide range of steel and aluminum platforms of different sizes along with various bed height options.
The key to success for the Tuk-A-Way product line is that the platform is neatly out of the way when not needed and/or in the case of dock loading.
The standard Tuk-A-Way product line has evolved into a wide variety of gates accommodating light and medium-duty trucks. Economical, lightweight designs such as the TE-12/ TE-20 are ideal for smaller trucks, while workhorse models like the TE-25/TE-30 provide excellent value.
All of Maxon’s Tuk-A-Ways are low maintenance. The heavy-duty extension plates are made from 1/4” thick diamond plate and have sturdy tubing and channel to help prevent loading damage. The models also feature a weather sealed pump box that protects against the elements.
TE-15/TE-20

SLIDELIFT
Maxon’s slider-type gates stow horizontally underneath the truck or trailer. They don’t need extension plates and therefore can accommodate roll-up as well as swing doors. Maxon offers slide-type products with level ride (GPSLR) as well as level-ramping ride (GPS). Maxon’s slide-type gates include rugged design and smart features like an optional hand held remote control, dual cart stops, and auto leveling.
With the introduction of the GPSLR series and optional SmartStow™ technology, Maxon has made these liftgates even easier to use. Press one button and SmartStow makes everything else automatic: detecting the correct height, stowing securely, and locking in place. Combined with a hydraulic locking system which locks the gate securely during transit, the GPSLR is the most full-featured, intelligent slider on the market.
GPS

GPST
- X1 technology utilizes only one lift and one tilt cylinder, resulting in less parts, and less maintenance costs.
- Two opposing cylinders slide in and out resulting in a smooth and reliable deployment.
- The Quick Lock mechanism carries the load (not the rollers) and avoids platform bouncing when moving load from the truck to the platform.

COLUMNLIFT
Maxon’s BMR Columnlift is the culmination of all the best technology, features, and options of any liftgate on the market, offering superior performance—by any measure.
Maxon’s BMR is unlike any other direct-type lift on the market. Built tough with rugged columns to withstand dock impacts, precision-engineered with self-centering rollers (optional slide pads available too) to eliminate the possibility of jams, and designed with lock valves for operator safety, the BMR offers superior performance — faster operation, lower power consumption, and reduced maintenance costs are only the start.
Every detail has been carefully thought through. LED taillights last longer, burn brighter, and don’t radiate heat, which can damage dock seals. The wiring harness features Deutsch electrical connectors that are watertight and have a snap-together fitting that ensures uninterrupted contact, thus eliminating most corrosion problems.
The optional aluminum platform reduces the overall weight of the liftgate, provides superior strength, and allows the truck or trailer carrier to haul heavier payloads.
