“Meyer is excited to announce the addition of LiftGator to our line card. This offering will go great in our commercial/fleet sector, and with LiftGator’s versatility, this product can be used throughout all of our categories. We look forward to a great relationship and growing the line for years to come,” said Joel Terwiske, category sales manager in the commercial, fleet, snow and ice division.
LiftGator now offers two new versions of its motorized, removable liftgates: TruckGator Gen II for pick-up, service body and flatbed trucks and VanGator Gen II for commercial vans. New features for these second-generation liftgates include a wiring harness redesign, new battery and charger, redesigned mount tube, updated cart stop, corrosion control and more.
“The team at LiftGator couldn’t be more excited to announce that we have been chosen to partner with Meyer Distributing,” said Ryan Dede of LiftGator. “LiftGator is very proud to have recently released the second generation of both our TruckGator and VanGator models, which makes the timing of this partnership even more beneficial. The ability to have Meyer’s nationwide exposure, expert sales team and trusted reputation all working for us will make putting the second-generation updates and improvements into the hands of our customers much more efficient and easier. We look forward to succeeding with Meyer Distributing for many years to come.”
