We have a Leyman LHLP-4500 Hide-A-Way™ with optional cart stops (flaps). Capacity is 4,500 lbs. Cart stops are a must-have on any liftgate, we believe.

The Leyman is a good gate. We have used the Interlift gate on fleet owner trucks. It is a better gate, but we did not have room for it on our truck with the short box, landing gear, and tandem axles. On liftgates, the bigger the platform, the better.

Rail gates can provide more capacity, but probably more than you need for an expedite application. They also add weight to the truck that you do not need.
