Liftgates

Particularly light or extremely robust? Preferably both!

Nowadays, liftgates are indispensable for the delivery of goods.

To fully utilize the potential of your truck and transport as much payload as possible, you need a lightweight liftgate. The weight savings are significant compared to most competing products. Lightweight construction, together with load capacity and safety, is our main goal.

Our range of loading products for commercial vehicles has been designed so that all aluminum components are interchangeable with the steel equivalent. In this way, lightweight construction can be perfectly combined with high load-bearing capacity. We will work with you to create a tailor-made solution for you using aluminum and steel components.

The assembly of our liftgates is achieved by utilizing adjustable mounting flanges to the respective vehicle frame. For special vehicles and box vehicles, tailor-made mounting flanges are supplied.

The most important of our partially patented technology and products can be found in every  liftgate from AHT-MHW. For example:

  • Corrosion resistant all-aluminum cylinders
  • 100% Leak-Proof Valves
  • Closed end profiles (not riveted)
  • Hydraulic power pack in aluminum housing
  • Low maintenance DU bearings
  • Hard chrome plated bolts
  • Simple electrical system
  • Delivery includes mounting material and power supply cables
  • Hot-dip galvanized steel components
  • Radio remote control available upon request

From 300kg up to 2500kg capacity we offer a suitable product for your vehicleinclucing optimal solutions for pickups.

From the power unit, to the valves, to the cylinders everything is designed, produced and manufactured in our group of companies AHT-MHW. If assembly is desired, this is also carried out by us as well.

Our design team deliberately does not use electronics on our liftgates. Using electronics in liftgates can be a source of problems, which can lead to  downtime for little if any customer benefit.

In the event of a standstill due to vehicle battery power problemsour hybrid system allows you to load and unload urgent goods to be deliveredAnother advantage of the hybrid system is the absoultly noiseless loading and unloading! This is especially useful for night deliveries in populated areas.

The operation is very simple and can be taught in less than two minutes.

All liftgates can be equipped with electrical or mechanical hose burst valves. We recommend mechanical ones as they are not affected by electrical issues.

No matter if  it is a one-off custom solution or one of our mass produced solutions, we offer the best conditions and excellent service throughout the life of your vehicle.
