Waltco Truck Equipment Co introduces the Waltco Direct Lift (WDL) Ultra Series (US) rail-type liftgate.

The WDL US, which comes in steel or aluminum platform models, carries the same dependability, design, and reduced maintenance requirements as the original WDL series, while incorporating new features including:

  • Stationary hardened steel rollers with stainless steel retaining pins.

  • 11"-deep columns and deep sill extensions that reduce the distance a dock plate is required to span.

  • Fully recessed controls with a new three-wire plug-and-play design and weather-sealed quick connectors.

  • Platform auto-latch system that engages automatically when the platform is raised to the stored transit position and two driver-friendly latch release handles that are easily accessible on the curbside column.

  • Recessed multi-diode LED lights for either trucks or trailers.

  • Steel-wrap reinforced columns that provide twice the crush resistance.

  • Weather-tight power unit enclosures with a non-corrosive plastic cover.

The WDL US offers models in four weight capacities: 3,500, 4,500, 5,500, and 6,600 pounds.
