Liftgate Installation in Fishers & Greenfield, IN

If you need a liftgate installed on a pickup, service body, box truck, van, or flatbed, Mid-State can help. We provide liftgate installation for commercial fleets and owner-operators in Fishers and Greenfield, Indiana. Whether you’re adding a liftgate to improve loading safety, reduce injury risk, or speed up deliveries, we’ll help you select the right style and install it correctly.

Liftgates come in a wide range of styles depending on the vehicle type, payload needs, and how the truck is used day-to-day. We install them for many common applications, including:

  • Pickups and service bodies
  • Cargo vans and step vans
  • Flatbeds and dump bodies
  • Box trucks and delivery vehicles
  • Specialty or custom applications (when applicable)

Different styles solve different loading problems. The right choice depends on your vehicle type, cargo, how often you load/unload, and whether you need to keep rear access clear when the gate isn’t in use.

Liftgates We Install

Tuckunder / Tuk-A-Way

Stores underneath the rear of the vehicle when not in use. Popular for delivery and fleet vehicles because it keeps the rear opening more accessible while still providing dependable lifting.

Rail Lift / Railgate

Moves up and down on vertical rails. Common on box trucks and larger vehicles, especially for higher-use or heavier-duty situations where stability matters.

Column Lift

Uses two vertical columns to guide the platform. Typically used on larger vehicles and tougher applications where extra support and stability are needed.

Slider Lift

Designed to slide/move to accommodate certain vehicle configurations. Helpful when space is tight or when you need to work around rear access constraints.

Cantilever

Mounted at the rear and raises/lowers in a stable platform motion. Often chosen for heavier loads and frequent use because it provides a consistent lifting surface.

Fold-Away

Folds and stores in a more compact position. Good when you want lift capability but also want to reduce how much space the gate takes up at the rear.

Side Loader / Sidelift

Mounts on the side of the vehicle instead of the rear. Useful when rear access is blocked, when curb-side loading is common, or when side access fits the workflow better.

Van Lifts / Cargo Van

Designed specifically for vans and lighter-duty setups. Built around van door clearances, mounting needs, and delivery-style use.

Passenger Lifts

Designed for accessibility and safe transport, including lifting mobility devices and supporting passenger entry/exit where applicable. These need to be matched to the vehicle and intended use for safe operation.

Gas Bottle

Some heavy-duty liftgates use a gas bottle system as part of their lifting support. You’ll usually see this on certain heavy-duty configurations where lifting performance and reliability are key.

Pickup & Service Body

Built for pickups and service bodies where space, approach angle, and access to compartments matter. Often used by contractors moving heavy tools, materials, or equipment.

Special Application

For non-standard installs where a typical rear liftgate isn’t the best fit. Covers unique vehicle bodies, clearance needs, specialized cargo, or custom workflows.
