Work Truck Lift Gate

What happens here

Start the snowblower by pulling the cord to ensure it is operational. Once started, position the snowblower onto the lowered Liftgator platform. Ensure the platform's support legs are lowered to the ground to stabilize the entire unit, preventing it from wiggling or feeling unstable. Use tie-down straps to secure the snowblower to the platform before raising it into the truck bed.

Goal: Safely load and secure the snowblower onto the Liftgator.

has this been fired this year yet even no so frankie does all the snow blowing and shoveling on all of our sites which means he's got to take this unit from site to site to site and we've tried a number of different things to do that figuring out what works best we've got a little trailer for them we hooked up one of those handicap accessible wheelchair ramps on the back of a truck tried to load this thing on it and that was a near disaster so hopefully that this might be a good option for him but we've got to get it to fire up to test it out that's where the extension cord comes in good the sweet smell of old gas okay so you see how frankie's pushing this on the first time that doesn't work so hot because getting it off it kind of feels sketchy now you see how i'm wiggling that that should have been my first sign hey something's not right stan why is this so wiggly and the thing is we don't have the jack stands down those jack stands stabilize the whole unit so that it doesn't wiggle and this technically replaces your tailgate now you'll see those wheels that are on the bottom of that jack stand that's so you can take this unit off from your truck roll it wherever you want and hook it right up to another truck it just slides right into your hitch receiver but it would work a lot better if we actually took those wheels off and put them down on the ground and stabilize them but we'll get there eventually you want to hop in the truck or you want to take the ride up all right so technically you're not supposed to ride up the lift but we're still trying to figure out the best way to do it and right now we don't have it because this is still a two-man operation i want to get it so it's one person doing it safe and see how this will work the best [Music] that aluminum ramp is really light
