Articulated Tailgates

PHIL's Autogate® Tailgate works with your off-highway articulated truck insuring full truck utilization. Designed to cap off the back end of the truck body, the PHIL Autogate Tailgate contains most any material no matter what they include or road condition. High-Strength steel is used throughout our patented design that allows for minimal weight with maximum durability and effortless operation: the body dumps, the tailgate opens, which makes the PHIL Autogate Tailgate An Investment Worth Making.

The Industry Standard Since 1969

PHIL set the industry standard in tailgate design since we introduced the first off-highway Autogate Tailgate to the industry 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.

Whether you're hauling dirt, sand, gravel, shot rock, coal, oil sands or soupy material, the PHIL Autogate Tailgate keeps material in your truck bed no matter what the condition.

With the truck bed closed, you'll also realize a volumetric capacity increase of up to 20%, depending on the material hauled. Operation of our Autogate Tailgate is simple and trouble-free. No lock, cylinders or controls to malfunction. The body dumps, the Autogate Tailgate opens.
