Autogate® Tailgates

Simply Making Haul Trucks Better

PHIL's Autogate® Tailgate works with your off-highway truck insuring full truck utilization. The Autogate Tailgate allows an increased yet balanced load and effectively contains most any material no matter what the incline or road condition. Operation is simple and trouble-free. No locks, cylinders or controls to malfunction. The Body Dumps, and the Autogate® Tailgate Opens. Simple.

Helping You Haul^™

Increases Volumetric Capacity

Contain more material per load and raise effective payload without adding trucks.

Engineered for Tough Environments

High-strength steel, oversized pivot pins and unique heavy-duty chain stand up to abuse.

Controls Material Spillage

Keep the load in the box on inclines and turns — cleaner haul roads, fewer tire cuts.

Less Haul Road Maintenance

Half the time spent on haul roads is cleaning. Spend that time hauling instead.

Balanced Load Distribution

A bigger loading target helps distribute weight evenly front-to-back, protecting the chassis.

Provides Better Loading Target

Faster, more efficient loading cycles with fewer passes on the loader bucket.

Innovation

The Industry Standard Since 1969

PHIL set the industry standard in tailgate design when we introduced the first off-highway Autogate Tailgate in 1969. Today, we've produced more than 10,000 tailgates for both articulated and rigid-frame off-highway trucks — from 20 ton to 340 ton in size.

Volumetric Capacity

Every Cubic Yard Counts

With the truck bed closed, you'll realize a volumetric capacity increase of up to 20%, depending on the material hauled. Fast-opening, fast-acting Autogate Tailgates deliver increased payloads, decreased spillage, improved loading and balanced load distribution.

Grow Your Load

More Payload, Same Fleet

Without a tailgate, isolated components such as the front suspension, front axle, hoist mechanism, and steering equipment can be overburdened. Tailgates provide a bigger loading target — helping operators distribute the load evenly front-to-rear.
