Waltco Truck Equipment Co introduces the Glide Trac Series Slide-Away level-ride liftgate that conveniently slides in and out from its stored position underneath the trailer bed.

Installers no longer need to supply another subframe on the trailer, relocate trailer lights, or alter the rear sill. The Glide Trac also comes with all mounting hardware; a pump filled with oil, plumbed, and wired; a pre-wired battery box; and factory-installed batteries.

The Glide Trac doesn't require a weld-on bed extension, making the GT Series ideal for 53-foot trailer applications. The GT Series can also be mounted on trailers with either roll-up or swing-type doors and will accommodate most refrigerated trailer designs.

Suitable for either cart or palletized applications and available in 3,300- and 4,400-lb capacities, the Glide Trac's platform is 80 inches wide and 70 inches deep with a single-piece flip ramp or 56 inches deep with a fixed ramp.

Other standard features include:

  • Two permanently mounted switches that make liftgate controls accessible from either the ground or trailer bed level.

  • Automatically engaging transit latch.

  • Spring-assisted platform folding.

  • A perforated aluminum platform extension.

  • Foldable step for easy operator access and egress from the rear of the trailer.

Optional power kits are available with standard zero gauge charging cable or with the Trail Charger option. Pop up cart stops and folding ramps are also offered.
