The Internal Van Lift
Low-capacity, compact, and internally mounted, the 650 Series is the ideal liftgate for lightweight van applications. 650 Series models fold up and store out of the way of ordinary tasks or flat against the inside of the rear door. The fold-away interior mount offers two secure storage positions and easy access to the rear of the van.

The Ideal Van Lift
The culmination of years of engineering, Cantilever Series models are highly versatile and include numerous desirable features. A bolt-on underside mount is compatible with most modern vans and eliminates the need for any welding. The platform is constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum and folds laterally, allowing for access to the rear of the vehicle without operating the lift.

The New Internal Van Lift
The latest in liftgate technology, the V2 Series by Tommy Gate provides the maximum platform loading area while occupying the smallest possible space when stored in the rear of the van. The V2 combines sleek modern engineering with hands-free platform open and close, built-in cart retention ramp, and 1100lbs. of lifting capacity.
