Finding liftgate parts can be tricky, but we're here to help! We've created a step-by-step guide to assist in this process. As a general rule of thumb, if you do not have a part number we will need a serial number to assist.
Part manuals are helpful, but unless you are certain that is the exact manual for your gate it is best to include the serial number and model when ordering.
Check the part for numbers
If you're lucky enough, there will be a valid part number on the item you're looking for. Try typing these numbers into our search box at the top of the page to see if this is a valid number.
What is a valid number you ask? This will vary by manufacturer, but here's a general rule of thumb so you don't waste time.
Maxon Part Numbers
Maxon parts will have a number that is about six consecutive digits long and may then have a dash with two or three numbers following.

Can't find the serial number?
There will be a lot more work if a serial number cannot be found. We will need measurements and pictures of the liftgate and the specific item you are looking for.
