To find your liftgate's serial number, locate your manufacturer and model below, then contact us with a description and image of the item you need so we can send you the items needed to repair your liftgate.

Why is finding YOUR liftgate's serial number and model necessary?

Just like an automobile, truck, or... your home's refrigerator, having a model and serial number is the golden ticket. By providing a valid serial number and model our team can help you with three things:

✅ Finding the correct parts manual for your liftgate
✅ Verifying your part numbers are correct for your liftgate
✅ Resting easy because the items you order will be the items that fit your liftgate

At LiftGateMe, our team works hard to ensure we sell the correct parts that fit your liftgate so that you can get back to work with confidence.

Let's look at each manufacturer and their models to see where your serial number tag is located on your liftgate.

PS - PRO TIP: have a worker on the road? Email or text them this page and ask them to locate the serial number for you.

How do I find my Maxon Serial Number?

You'll need a serial number in the majority of cases unless you know exactly what you need.
