Liftgate Repairs


Liftgate Repairs to Handle Your Heaviest Loads

Putting off liftgate repair? Proper liftgate maintenance and repair are integral to safe, efficient liftgate operation. Timely attention to these needs not only decreases the risk of malfunction and emergency roadside services, but speeds delivery times, protects inventory from mishandling and damage, and prevents worker injury due to liftgate-related snafus.

Is Your Liftgate Overused and Abused?

Over time, your liftgate will slowly deteriorate, even with normal wear-and-tear. Colder climates increase this decline. With a myriad of moving parts, many issues can result without routine maintenance and necessary repairs. Moving parts must be in good work order to ensure peak performance and safety, otherwise manual loading and resultant (unnecessary) injuries could take their toll on cargo, your workers, and ultimately your business.

All Hands On-Deck!

When an issue arises with your liftgate, you need trusted service you can rely on for safe repairs – not quick fixes. Liftgate fluid is under extreme pressure, and can create a dangerous situation if not properly addressed. With hydraulic systems building pressure up to 3,000 psi, precautions are necessary during maintenance to avoid injury both during – and after – repairs. Rest assured, the experienced staff at Ainsworth will ensure your safety, thoroughly diagnosing liftgate needs and handling them with an attention-to-detail to ensure safe, lasting, OEM-quality repairs.
