ABSTRACT:
A lifting truck tailgate is attached to an angled, swiveling arm which is attached to a lifting arm by a pivot and supported on a structural member of the lifting arm. The lifting arm is actuated by a pressure cylinder. A spring activated catch on the lifting arm mates with a matching projection on the swiveling arm thereby preventing liftoff of the swiveling arm from the lifting arm when a heavy load is placed on the trailing edge of the tailgate. An adjustable screw disengages the latch when the pressure cylinder is fully retracted enabling the tailgate to form a ramp when it rests on the ground.
