Mounting Requirements
Minimum Bed Height dimensions are ALWAYS MAXIMUM LOADED TRUCK.
Maximum Bed Height dimensions are ALWAYS DRY UNLOADED TRUCK.
Installing a gate at or close to minimum bed height normally results in a gate that will NOT open and
close from stored position if the minimum floor height is exceeded when truck is loaded.
Ensure truck body or trailer rear door does not interfere with installation or operation of liftgate ILD
series liftgate. The ILD series cannot be installed with "barn" or "swing" type doors without extensive
modification.
It is not recommended to cut, torch, or remove support materials from rear sill of truck or trailer.
Installers are advised to sub-frame or flush sills as required. Removing gussets, stiffeners, light rings,
or other such support structures may VOID your truck/trailer warranty.
Call tech support before starting the installation if you have any questions or concerns
on mounting dimensions or procedures… 888-774-5844

Body Preparation
Step 1
Remove any sill or corner post mounted lights, grab handles, or bumpers. Your goal is to have a flat
and flush mounting surface for the liftgate.
Truck and trailers applications with flush corner post and sill and NO protruding gussets or stiffeners
are the most straight forward of all ILD installations. Rear of body should be 90` to ground as shown.
It is not recommended to cut, torch, or remove support materials from rear sill of truck or
trailer. Installers are advised to sub-frame or flush sills as required. Removing gussets,
stiffeners, light rings, or other such support structures may VOID your truck body or trailer
warranty.
Step 2
Be certain that under ride bumpers, trailer hitches, or other auxiliary equipment do not extend
rearward of rear sill. Use the following illustrations as a guide.

Step 3
Trailer Hitches are common truck or trailer equipment and are compatible the ILD series.
Two considerations for mounting or moving are;
Hitch can NOT extend rearward of rear sill and liftgate will extend rearward an additional 12”.
Bed Level
Rear Sill
Hitch or other Equipment must NOT
extend rearward of rear sill.
Revision 1.7

Step 4
Some trailer configurations will have irregular shaped sills. Liftgate mounting surface may NOT be
flush with corner post. Some sills may be inset or have door gutters. All these situations are
remedied with a process called sub-framing and/or flushing the sill.
Sub-framing is done one of two ways; Sub-frame can be built up using correct size 3/16” or greater
wall tubing before liftgate is mounted. Or, the liftgate can be mounted into position and sub-frame can
be built as liftgate is installed with 3/16” or greater flat bar. In either case, liftgate installation weld
procedure does not change. These examples are show below.
Flushing floor or filling gap between Sill and liftgate can be done up to 6” without cross supports. Use
¼” or greater flat bar or diamond plate to span gap.

Step 5
Corner stiffeners are common and should NOT be removed. It is recommended to “flat bar” with
same thickness as stiffener. Typically ¼” to 3/8” thick x 4” to 5” wide. Liftgate Installation weld
procedure is the same.

Liftgate Installation
6.1
Prepare Liftgate
Step 1
Remove hydraulic/battery enclosure form liftgate shipping assembly package.
Step 2
Remove shipping ties from all electrical harnesses and hydraulics lines and position so NOT to
interfere with position of liftgate to body or welding processes.
Step 3
Lower shipping feet may have to be removed for installation on some deep sills measuring more than
10” top to bottom.
Step 4
Weld two (2) supports to cross beam. This will help ensure even alignment between liftgate
crossbeam and body sill. Use 3” angle or channel approx 10” long.
Note: steps 2, 3 & 4 are best done with liftgate hoisted with forklift or crane. This brings items to be
addressed to working level.
Never position any portion of body under liftgate.

6.2 Positioning Liftgate
Before positioning the liftgate. Consider when measuring and centering the liftgate that the
truck or trailer may NOT be square or parallel. Special care must be taken to insure that the
liftgate is square and parallel before welding.
Step 1
Truck should be on level and even ground. Uneven ground will give misleading measurements and
can cause body twist or racking.
Step 2
Preferred method for lifting liftgate is with a forklift. Position forks to widest point and lift from center.
12” or larger “C” or “F” style clamps can be used to coach or hold liftgate in position.
Step 3
Use 4”x 4” x 24” wood spacers as shown. This will help force top of liftgate tight against body for
welding. Should you need to force bottom portion, remove wood spacer and use the forklift against
the lower portion of liftgate.
Step 4
Preferred method for centering liftgate is measuring side clearances from outside of liftgate to outside
of body. (centerline marked on sill is NOT easily visible.)
Step 5
Verify all mounting dimensions, double check that floor and threshold extension are flush.
Never remove lifting device until liftgate is fully welded.

Above Floor Installation
Mount the liftgate up to 6” above floor level (as shown in figure 1). Install the gate per the
Installation Instructions.
Do not weld the traverse yet!
Figure. 1 Initial install
Traverse Floor Height
Vehicle Floor Height
After the columns have been welded in place, remove the 4 traverse bolts, and lower the
traverse to be flush with the floor. Weld into position according to the installation manual.
Also weld the traverse to each column, ¼” weld by ½” long, x3 on each side.
Traverse
After install, lower
traverse to be level
with vehicle floor.
Traverse bolts
The above floor installation reduces the bed height limit of the lift gate.
The maximum travel of the platform is 56”. For example: if the gate is
mounted 6” above floor, the maximum bed height lowers to 50”.
Revision 1.7

Step 6
Check liftgate to be certain it is square and parallel. Use a 3 ft carpenters square to check
column to threshold.
Step 7
Use to “Dim A” and “Dim B” to verify columns are parallel.
Step 8
Use “Dim C” and “Dim D” to verify columns are square.
Step 9
Check that columns are also 90 degrees to sill or body.
DO NOT WELD until all dimensions are checked and rechecked after each positioning
adjustment.

Welding Liftgate
Step 1
Using ¼” x 2” welds, place one weld ½” from the top of each column on the outside and place one
weld at the bottom of each dock bumper plate.
STOP and recheck all mounting dimensions from “Position Liftgate” section.
Step 2
Final welding for the outside of liftgate is ¼” x 100% on dock bumpers and ¼” x 2” x 5 places evenly
spaced on columns top to bottom.

Hydraulic Connections
To prevent leaks during shipping and storage, hydraulic connections at liftgate are plugged by
connecting hydraulic lines together. DO NOT disconnect until you are ready to connect hoses
to liftgate and hydraulic enclosure.
Step 1
Determine best routing for hydraulic hoses. Best routing is down the center of the vehicle. However,
some applications this may NOT be possible. In these applications, running the hose channels to
outside of the frame rails may be necessary. Position the hose channel between tires.
Step 2
Weld the hose channel to body cross members. Use 1/8” x 1” welds places every 12” min. both sides.
DO NOT weld channel with hydraulic hoses or electrical wires installed.
Applications with Aluminum cross members will need to be bolted. Contact MBB Palfinger,
Inc. Tech Support for instructions at 888-774-5844.
Revision 1.7
Page 24

Take care not to route hoses, wires, harnesses, and cables near, around, or in contact with sharp
edges, air lines, vehicle electrical, exhaust system or fuel lines.
Step 3
Route four (4) hydraulic hoses through hose channel. Position hoses opposite to each other. 3/8”
hoses should have one male and one female exposed at each end. Position ¼” hoses in the same
manor, one male and one female at each end.
Step 4
Connect hydraulic hoses to the curb side of the liftgate. The hose bundle should have four (4) hoses,
one (1) 3/8” male, one (1) 3/8” female, one (1) ¼” male, and one (1) ¼” female. The liftgate will have
the same combination of connections. There is only one combination for each connection.
Connecting:
Each Connection for the hoses on the Pump have a Letter (right to left: A, B, C, D). Connect them in
the right way, seen on both pictures below.
The two 3/8” hoses in the lift gate will be secured to each other for packaging. These need to be
disconnected to expose the male and female fittings. HYDRAULIC FLUID WILL ESCAPE FROM
THE HOSES WHEN DISCONNECTED! Be ready to make the connections to limit the amount of
escaping fluid.
Step 4
Connect hydraulic hoses to the bottom of the Power Pack Box. The hose bundle should have four (4)
hoses, one (1) 3/8” male, one (1) 3/8” female, one (1) ¼” male, and one (1) ¼” female. The box will
have the same combination of connections. There is only one combination for each connection. Refer
