Optional Model Widths
Available for most Rail Gate configurations - measurements in inches.
Model	Max. Travel	Gate Width	Platform Width	Body Size (width)
Model 73	52	78	73	80
Model 79	52	84	79	85
Model 95	54	100	95	102

All-Aluminum Models - Mounting Flanges
All-Aluminum models can be bolted onto the truck body using the attached flanges (aluminum frame only). The Gate Width measurements include the flanges (one each side - outside the frame) where the bolt holes are located.
Model	Gate Width (outside flanges)	Distance between bolt-hole centers (width)	Max. Travel
Model 73	80"	79 3/8"	52"
Model 79	86"	85 3/8"	52"
Model 85	92"	91 3/8"	54"
Model 89	96"	95 3/8"	54"

Notes

All measurements in inches, unless noted.

S - Steel Platform

A - Extruded Aluminum Platform

AB - Above Bed model

GBR - Gas Bottle Rack model

Please provide bed height measurement when ordering an Above-Bed (AB) Rail Gate.

OPTIONAL PLATFORM DEPTHS
Since the Extruded Aluminum platform is composed of 5-inch extrusions, the standard 55” fl at loading depth can be extended in 5-inch increments to a maximum of 70” (plus a 12” taper) or shortened in 5-inch increments to 35”.

POWER OPEN & CLOSE
The Power Open & Close system is not available on Rail Gates with both 1600 lbs capacity and 65 or 70-inch fl at loading depths. For these models a Torsion Bar is required. All 2000 lbs capacity Extruded Aluminum platform models are available with the Power Open & Close, regardless of loading depth. All Treadplate Steel platform models (not GBR models) are available with Power Open & Close.

OPTIONAL MODEL WIDTHS
Steel/Steel or Aluminum/Steel Models
All Platforms except GBR

ALL ALUMINUM MOUNTING FLANGES
The All-Aluminum models can be bolted onto the truck body. The Gate Width measurements include the side flanges (one on each side) on the frame where the bolt holes are located.

TORSION BAR
Instead of the Rail Gate’s standard Power Open & Close cam arm system, a closure-assist Torsion Bar can be substituted. Rail Gate GBR models have the Torsion Bar only (as do certain optional platform depths). A Torsion Bar is recommended for some trucks with bed heights lower than 32 inches.

For forklift or dock loading, choosing the Torsion Bar option allows the platform to be dropped vertically below the truck bed (depending on platform size and bed height), allowing for truck bed access without opening and lowering the platform.

ABOVE BED/BED HEIGHT
Bed Height
The platform on a Bed Height Rail Gate model will lift up to the level of the truck bed (loading height), but no higher.

Above Bed (AB)
The platform on an Above Bed Rail Gate model will travel above the truck’s bed (up to 54” total from the ground). The vertical travel of the platform above the bed will be the maximum travel (54 inches off the ground) minus the truck’s bed height.

For applications involving trucks with low bed heights, consider the Rail Gate Above Bed model to help reach docks above the truck’s bed.
