Sideloader

Thieman Tailgates tuck-under liftgates are designed to mount beneath the rear of the truck body and fold neatly out of the way when not in use, maintaining full access to the cargo area and preserving ground clearance. Commonly used on box trucks and delivery vehicles, these liftgates support efficient loading in both dock and street-level environments. Thieman tuck-under models are built with a focus on straightforward operation, durable structural components, and ease of service. Choosing the right configuration helps ensure proper vehicle integration, consistent lifting performance, and long-term reliability with OEM-supported parts.

Thieman Tailgates column liftgates use dual vertical columns mounted at the rear of the vehicle to raise and lower the platform in a straight, stable path. This design provides consistent lifting performance for heavier loads and allows for larger platform options to accommodate pallets and carts. Commonly used on box trucks and stake bodies, column liftgates are well-suited for operations without loading docks. Thieman column models are built for durability, controlled operation, and straightforward serviceability, making proper selection important for ensuring compatibility, safe operation, and long-term reliability with OEM-supported parts.

Thieman Tailgates rail liftgates operate on guided rails mounted to the rear of the vehicle, allowing the platform to travel smoothly between bed height and ground level while maintaining stability throughout the lift cycle. This design supports larger platform sizes and higher load capacities, making rail liftgates a strong fit for palletized freight and frequent loading operations. Commonly installed on box trucks and trailers, these models are well-suited for dock and ground-level deliveries alike. Thieman rail liftgates are built for consistent performance, structural durability, and service-friendly maintenance, helping ensure reliable operation and long-term compatibility with OEM-supported parts.

Thieman Tailgates cantilever liftgates use a pivoting arm design that extends the platform outward and lowers it to the ground in a controlled arc. This configuration provides a large, stable loading surface and is well-suited for handling palletized or bulky freight. Commonly used on box trucks and trailers, cantilever liftgates are ideal for operations without dock access where strength and platform size are critical. Thieman cantilever models are built for rugged performance, smooth operation, and straightforward serviceability, making proper selection important for ensuring safe lifting, reliable operation, and long-term compatibility with OEM-supported parts.

Thieman Tailgates offers liftgates for pickup trucks, utility bodies, and service vehicles are designed to provide compact, efficient lifting solutions without compromising bed access or vehicle functionality. These liftgates mount to the rear of the vehicle and offer a stable platform for handling tools, equipment, and smaller loads in field service and vocational applications. Commonly used by contractors, technicians, and fleet service operators, they support ground-level loading where dock access is not available. Thieman models in this category are built for durability, ease of operation, and simplified maintenance, helping ensure reliable performance and long-term compatibility with OEM-supported parts.

Thieman Tailgates sideloader liftgates mount along the side of the vehicle, providing a practical solution for loading and unloading in tight spaces where rear access is limited. The platform deploys from the side and lowers to ground level, making it well-suited for urban routes, curbside deliveries, and specialized service applications. Commonly used on box trucks and service bodies, sideloader liftgates allow operators to maintain access to the rear cargo area while improving workflow efficiency. Thieman sideloader models are built for controlled operation, durable performance, and ease of service, helping ensure reliable lifting and long-term compatibility with OEM-supported parts.
