Mining Duty Tailgates

Built for the World's Harshest Mines

PHIL's Traditional Autogate® Tailgate is the first and original commercially available tailgate available! Designed in the 1960's by Phil Philippi, this tailgate works with your off-highway rigid frame 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 is being hauled or the road condition.

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

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

Grow Your Load

More Payload, Same Fleet

Without a tailgate, isolated components such as the front suspension, front axle, hoist mechanism, and steering equipment may be overburdened. By closing the rear of the truck, tailgates provide a bigger loading target — helping the loader operator distribute the load evenly from front to rear.

Calculate Tailgate Savings

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.
