Frequently Asked Questions
What types of freight require tailgate delivery service?
Tailgate delivery is ideal for palletized, crated, or boxed freight that needs to be unloaded at ground level without a dock or forklift. It’s commonly used for items like equipment, supplies, displays, or finished goods.
How much weight can a liftgate handle?
Most liftgates can handle 1,500 to 2,500 lbs per cycle. If your freight exceeds this limit, we’ll help determine if it can be broken down into smaller units or if a different delivery method is required.

Tailgate service is typically used for LTL freight. While some FTL shipments may qualify, there are equipment and weight restrictions—contact us to review your specific load.
Can you handle residential tailgate deliveries?
