I am trying to buy a 16' box truck for an upcoming move, and for moving large items like woodworking and metalworking machines.

Anybody know much about aftermarket liftgates, what their capacity usually is, and what they cost?

I'd want at least 1/2 ton lift, pref more.

Sorry for the off-topic nature of this, but figured that you folks would know.

Lynn; I have a "Tommy Lift" on a 3/4 ton Ford. It will lift 1000 lbs, and with a little help maybe go 1200/1300lbs. It has saved me major back problems, they make a whole line of these---I wouln't be without one. I think you are looking at $l300 and up. I paid $300 for a used one, best money I ever spent!!

A friend has the Tommey Lift on a 3/4 ton Chevy. I don't know the capacity, but it's a real help loading heavy stuff. I do worry a bit when something like a refrigerator is going up because it's close to the edge and the platform tilts slightly back from the weight.
