Lift Gate Delivery
Lift Gate Delivery Services in Hawaii: Simplifying Heavy Freight Handling
Not every delivery location in Hawaii has a loading dock or forklift—and that’s where lift gate delivery makes all the difference.
At Preferred Transportation Services, we provide professional, safe, and efficient lift gate service across Oahu. Whether you're receiving a palletized shipment, heavy equipment, or large items at a site without proper unloading infrastructure, we’ve got the tools and team to handle it.
What Is Lift Gate Delivery?
Lift gate delivery refers to the use of a hydraulic platform mounted to the back of a box truck or flatbed. The lift gate raises and lowers heavy items from the truck bed to ground level—eliminating the need for a forklift or loading dock.
This service is essential for:
Ground-level offices
Job sites
Retail stores
Homes and condos
Event venues or temporary installations
When Do You Need Lift Gate Delivery?
1. No Loading Dock at Your Location
If your business or delivery site doesn’t have a loading dock, a lift gate allows safe, controlled unloading.
2. Heavy or Palletized Freight
When items are too large or heavy to hand unload (e.g., appliances, furniture, stacked boxes, or machines), a lift gate is the safest option.
3. Remote or Job Site Drop-Offs
Deliver directly to construction sites, outdoor spaces, or unpaved areas—no forklift required on site.
4. Residential and Final Mile Deliveries
Lift gates help bridge the gap for last-mile deliveries to locations with minimal delivery infrastructure.
