    The LRST (Level Ride Stowaway), Thieman Tailgates' new liftgate, is designed for handling loads of up to 4,000 pounds. With an 80" × 60" adjustable aluminum platform, this liftgate offers a self-leveling action to provide a stable, “level with truck” surface for various loading conditions.

    Thieman has incorporated self-lubricating Teflon bearings with stress-proof pins at all LRST pivot points. Cylinder rods are retracted during transit to protect them from road debris. The LRST also includes a standard plastic pump enclosure for protection from the weather.

    Other standard features and benefits include:

    • Dual lift cylinders for maximum stability
    • Adjustable cylinder shafts for adjusting platform height
    • Adjustment bolts for adjusting platform angle
    • Power up and power down for cold-weather operation
    • Dual travel latches to secure the lift during road travel
    • Snubber kit for reduced movement while in travel position
    • Sealed toggle switch control for weatherproof operation

    For more information, contact Thieman, 600 E Wayne St, Celina OH 45822.
