Contain more material per load and raise effective payload without adding trucks.
High-strength steel, oversized pivot pins and unique heavy-duty chain stand up to abuse.
Keep the load in the box on inclines and turns — cleaner haul roads, fewer tire cuts.
Half the time spent on haul roads is cleaning. Spend that time hauling instead.
A bigger loading target helps distribute weight evenly front-to-back, protecting the chassis.
Faster, more efficient loading cycles with fewer passes on the loader bucket.
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.
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.
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.
Explore the full line of PHIL Autogate® Tailgates.
PHIL Autogate® Tailgates typically provide 10% to 20% additional volumetric capacity. Do the math below to see how adding tailgates to your fleet will impact your bottom line, with no additional trucks or labor.
