Link Manufacturing has developed a wide variety of lightweight, low-profile aluminum ramps that vertically mount just inside the rear or side doors of commercial vans and box trucks, protecting them from the elements.
Fleets engaged in last-mile delivery should consider low-cost, low-maintenance aluminum ramps as an alternative to pneumatic and electric chain-driven liftgates.

Improved designs and increased availability of liftable pusher axles are making the 6x2 a more viable option for fleets.
