Liftgate

[JETDOCTOR]

Where can I get a liftgate for my m1078 ? I’m getting old and 63” lift over height is getting old too !!! Thanks. Mark

one off an freightliner or international box truck like ryder or enterprise has would work. or off a semi. pretty costly though. i would look for a way to mount an crane back there.

Those won’t work they can only reach 56 inches.

Ummm. Some of them have 5 ft decks. You just have to find the right ones. Did you check the tommy gate height specs? Or you would have to find one off a M935 but good luck with that. I have only ever seen one. A member here had it.

soo?? As long as it goes all the way up..... is what counts. Who says it has to go all the way to the ground? ramp fold off of it? step maybe?

Sorry but as per rules your location needs correcting. I have a military 5 ton expandable truck with a lift gate if it is correct we might make a deal. Believe it can be removed one way or another. The trucks are 60 miles from my home and next time I go there I could take some pics.

Thanks Floridianson. My location is Jacksonville Florida. I’ve updated my profile. Sorry.

No worries I don't do that thing myself most of the time it's the Mods. I just wanted to see how far you were from me and now I know.
A hop, skip and a jump.

Love to see photos of this or pics of them on the LMTV. I've been toying with this idea as well.

You could look for a M820a2 take one off that then resell the truck. Probably easiest find a lift dealer near you.

Last month I seen a deuce set up with a lift on it the guy wanted 9k for it. Not seen it since. Sorry no pics.

This was in a recent auction.

Looks more of a lift platform than a tailgate lift but I’m sure the military truck gurus on here could elaborate on that.

seen used lift gates for sale on craigslist for 300-500 bucks. some take up a chunk of real estate behind the wheels and below bed and may really limit rear clearances in offroad usage

Yeah that was my concern, I have seen a couple different versions

one could scavange something like this for parts to build a custom set up.... or just customize it as is. Haul it by temporary fixing of forks to bed? and with pressure released on cylinder and via a 12v atv winch mounted at top of lifts frame pull the whole unit up to fork height. Kind of like forklifts that mount themselves to back of big rig trucks hauling roofing material and the likes.

Have considered doing similar concept as described above with a motorcycle lift.
