Liftgate Installation & Repair in Portland, Oregon
Pacific Service Center installs and repairs commercial liftgates, including Maxon and Tommy Gate, for box trucks, cargo vans and service bodies. Our large upfit bays handle everything from cargo vans to 53-foot trailers.
Whether you need a new gate on one truck or liftgates across a fleet, we match the gate type, capacity and platform size to the work your drivers actually do, then install it and keep it running.
Liftgates at a Glance
Why Liftgate Work Belongs in a Full Upfit Shop
A liftgate affects payload, ground clearance, electrical load and how a truck loads and unloads every day. Installing one correctly means understanding the truck, the body and the job it is built for, not only bolting on a gate.
We install Maxon and Tommy Gate liftgates, along with Palfinger Interlift and Thieman gates. Because liftgate work happens alongside shelving, racks and service bodies in the same shop, it is simple to coordinate the whole build instead of splitting it across vendors.
Repairs are handled the same way. Bring the truck in, tell us what the gate is doing, and we diagnose the hydraulics, electrical and mounting before recommending a fix.
Liftgate Services
Choosing the Right Liftgate
A quick guide to common liftgate styles. We confirm the right fit for your truck and your loads during the estimate.
Tuckaway Liftgates
The platform stows under the truck body, keeping the rear doors clear. A common choice for box trucks and flatbeds that need unrestricted rear access.
Rail Liftgates
The platform stows vertically at the rear and can double as the door closure. Often used where heavy, frequent lifting is the priority.
Cantilever Liftgates
A folding platform that stows beneath the body. Suited to trucks that need to keep rear clearance without a full vertical stow.
Cargo Van Liftgates
Compact gates for cargo vans that handle equipment, appliances and parcels without a loading dock.
Liftgate Repair
Slow lifts, leaks, electrical faults and damaged platforms. We diagnose the problem before recommending repair or replacement.
