CANTILEVER LIFTGATE

Maxon Lift Corp. has introduced what it calls the first North American-made cantilever-style liftgate. The GPC 22/33/44 is said to provide precision, stability, and control thanks to four separate cylinders for lift and tilt operations. You can easily level the load in any position, the company says, thus achieving simpler loading and unloading on uneven surfaces.

Maxon had previously sourced this niche product from a German supplier. By bringing its own GPC product to the market, Maxon says its customers will no longer need to be concerned with overseas delivery timing for spare parts, additional overseas sourcing costs, or product spec constraints.

The GPC comes in a variety of platform sizes (both steel and aluminum) and can accommodate a wide range of bed-height requirements. The GPC features stainless-steel pins, low-maintenance bushings and grease fittings on all pivot points, a heavy-duty motor with thermal protection, lock valves on all cylinders, optional dual cart stops, and simple bolt-on installation plates. The GPC uses standard Maxon parts.
