Palfinger PLR: Strength, Versatility & Smarter Freight Handling
All about Palfinger PLR Series Liftgate
When it comes to balancing power, reliability, and smart design, this tuckaway liftgate delivers everything fleet operators need—and then some.
Designed for medium- to heavy-duty delivery box trucks and trailers, the PLR offers a lift capacity ranging from 2,000 lbs. to 3,000 lbs. in three different models: PLR-20, PLR-25, and PLR-33. With a choice of steel, aluminum, or hybrid platforms in multiple lengths (42", 48", 54", and 60"). This makes it an ideal solution for city deliveries where fast, secure cargo handling is essential.
Built for High-Demand Environments
The PLR is equipped with single or dual hydraulic cylinders, depending on the chosen configuration, for added lifting stability and durability—especially useful in uneven loading zones or rough conditions. The platform's low-profile ramping ride geometry makes loading smoother and safer for operators, while the torsion assist system reduces the effort needed to fold and deploy the gate.
Key performance features
- Up to 3,000 lb. capacity to handle palletized or carted freight
- Gravity or power-down operation for controlled lowering even in cold and corrosive climates
- Bushings and grease fittings at all pivot points
- Oversized hardened pivot pins for longevity
- Walk ramp compatibility for flexible loading needs
- Galvanized or painted options for corrosion resistance in harsh climates
Tuck-Under Design for More Dock Clearance
Like other tuck-under liftgate models by Palfinger, the PLR folds neatly beneath the vehicle when not in use, offering unobstructed access to loading docks. This design is especially helpful for fleets working in mixed environments, from warehouse docks to curbside deliveries.
Easy Installation and Maintenance
Palfinger’s detailed installation documentation simplifies mounting and electrical setup for the qualified technician, whether you're working with a new truck or retrofitting an existing fleet. Standardized wiring diagrams, ready-to-ship Palfinger lift gate parts, and pre-filled hydraulic oil save time and minimize errors.
Plus, the adjustable platform shims and torsion settings mean the gate can be fine-tuned to fit a range of vehicle heights and use conditions.
Proven Return on Investment (ROI) Across Industries
From beverage distributors to rental equipment haulers, businesses across the country rely on the PLR for its long-term value. Palfinger’s commitment to quality means lower maintenance costs, fewer breakdowns, and less downtime on the road.
Whether you're managing a single truck or a nationwide fleet, the Palfinger PLR offers the strength and flexibility needed to keep your business moving forward.
