Maxon Lift Corp has introduced its GPC 22/33/44, the first European designed, but North American manufactured, cantilever style liftgate.

The GPC provides the precision, stability and control expected from a European cantilever gate, thanks to four separate cylinders for lift and tilt operations, says the company. The load can be easily leveled in any position, achieving a simplification of loading and unloading on uneven surfaces.

Historically, Maxon has sourced this U.S. niche product from a leading German supplier but is now bringing its own GPC product to the market. Consequently, Maxon customers will no longer need to be concerned with overseas delivery timing for spare part supplies, additional overseas sourcing costs or product spec constraints.

The GPC comes in a variety of platform sizes (both steel and aluminum) and can accommodate a wide range of bed height requirements.

Built with performance in mind, the GPC features stainless steel pins, low maintenance bushings and grease fittings on all pivot points, a heavy duty motor with thermal protection, lock valves on all cylinders, optional dual cart stops and bolt-on installation plates for a quick and simple installation.

The GPC uses standard Maxon parts and has an expert support and service team. “We’re confident that the GPC will revolutionize this segmented portion of the industry and will constitute the benchmark, for future cantilevers,” says Maxon’s Brent Stratton.
