PTF Heavy Duty
The new PALFINGER PTF liftgate helps fleet operators in every market segment transport goods and safely reach their destinations on time. Featuring a 62" x 86" heavy-duty aluminum platform, the PTF fits most trucks and trailers with bed heights ranging from 48" to 56" – making it ideal for almost every application.
Self-leveling and power-down functions simplify machine operation and help operators focus on the job – regardless of terrain. With torsion assist folding and electro-hydraulic stowage, the operation is effortless. Plus, with the platform stowed under the truck, you are forklift and dock-ready for maximum efficiency.

The new PTF liftgate takes PALFINGER's already proven design into the heavy-duty application. Offering both 50 and 55 models, the PTF is the perfect complement to a truck or trailer for your heavy-duty needs.
Designed for Ease of Use
Heavy-duty torsion assist on both the main and tip sections helps your drivers operate the liftgate with little effort. The large 62x86 aluminum platform folds and unfolds with ease.
Loaded With Standard Features
The PTF comes loaded with features for the heavy-duty application. Hydraulic power down, three-piece DOT rear impact guard, dual spring-loaded cart stops, toggle switch with complimentary two-button hand-held controls, and dual hydraulic cylinder locks, to name a few.
Galvanized Steel Protection
All steel components undergo an 8-step hot dip galvanizing process to protect your liftgate for years of hard use.
Serviceability
Standardized dimensions and shared parts design between models means that your shop and our nationwide parts distribution can quickly assist you if you’re down.

Highlights
Rubber boots on the cylinders, zinc-coated hardware and galvanized finish on the PTF all come standard. The rubber boots help protect cylinder shafts from damage caused by road debris. The zinc hardware and galvanized coating protect your liftgate even in the most harsh climates.
