Most people don't realize that the use of tailgates can increase production by 10% to 20%.  With an open dump bed, only 75% of the body can be used effectively, thus creating large voids of unusable area towards the rear of the bed.  

 

The real question is: 

What is this costing your operation? 

 

Chances are, it is costing far more on an annual basis than it would if tailgates were installed.  PHIL's Autogate® Tailgate works with your off-highway truck ensuring full truck utilization.  The Autogate® Tailgate allows an increased, yet balanced load and effectively contains most materials, no matter what the incline or road condition.
