Removable “Lift Gate” For Pickups
“Our new removable LiftGator fits directly into your pickup’s receiver hitch and lets you load or unload up to 1,000 lbs. by pressing a button. “You have a lift gate when you need it, and you get your truck back when you don’t,” says Justin Russo about his company’s new LiftGator. It was introduced at the recent World Ag Expo near Tulare, Calif.
  The electric-powered LiftGator rides on 4 small rubber wheels and operates off the pickup battery. It consists of a 4-ft. sq. aluminum platform that folds out and lowers to the ground. A pair of telescoping metal support posts provide support.
  The operator uses a dolly or cart to load an object onto the platform, then presses a button to lift the platform up to the level of the pickup bed. The platform can then be folded back up and the legs retracted, allowing you to drive the pickup with the tailgate installed. Or, you can remove the LiftGator from the receiver hitch and re-install the pickup’s original tailgate.
  “It’s built strong enough to support tools such as air compressors, welders, and generators. There’s no need to modify the pickup at all,” says Russo.
   The LiftGator sells for $2,995 plus S&H.
