What we do at Precision EndGate - Save Money … Increase Safety

At Precision EndGate Safety, we work with independent dump truck owners, construction companies, and executives concerned about being sued and the impact of rising insurance costs due to accidents involving their trucks and trailers.

Jurisdictions across North America are holding employees and executives directly responsible for accidents, leading to lawsuits and penalties.

Just one accident could result in skyrocketing workplace insurance rates and fines that can, and do, cripple companies. All as a result of accidents that are preventable.

Companies are frustrated by the loss of time and money that occurs when an end gate / tail gate opens accidentally and spills debris all over the road or when an accident occurs when a lift system is left in the raised position.

Our clients appreciate the fact that our Dump Box Safety System saves time, reduces the risk of accidents, and increases productivity.

Put an end to dump box spills and overhead collisions forever!

Precision's Dump Box Safety System is a proven fix, guaranteed to keep dump trucks loads where they belong; securely behind the endgate / tailgate. Our innovative patented system works by overriding the tailgate locking mechanism to ensure no tailgate will ever open accidentally. The new Elevation Indicator System has a dashboard light indicator and in cab audible alarm that activates when the lift is up in a potentially dangerous posistion.

Our Dump Box Safety System and Elevation Indicator System works on all trucks with a lift system including; dump trucks, flatbeds, garbage trucks and haulers with a lift system.

Say Goodbye Forever To :
• Time delays and lost productivity related to spills
• Costly repairs to property, vehicles and equipment damaged by spilled debris or a lifted truck box
• Fines and penalties
• Compromised public confidence
• Crashes that occur when truck boxes are left up
• Skyrocketing costs related to accident clean-up, fines, and insurance premiums

Airborne tail gate kills couple In Toronto


Seniors die in SUV on Hwy. 400 after truck hits median, sending object through their windshield

Apr 20, 2008 04:30 AM - Brett Popplewell Staff Reporter

There was no way they could have seen it coming. The tailgate from a dump truck flew across traffic on Highway 400 and smashed through the windshield of an SUV, killing an elderly couple from Toronto.

The victims, a 75-year-old man and woman, have been identified but their names are not being released until next of kin have been notified. They were travelling north on the highway and were near King Rd. around 2 p.m. yesterday when the accident occurred.

"The dump truck was travelling southbound when it lost control and hit the centre cement median," OPP Const. Dave Woodford smaid yesterday.
"Some witnesses are telling us that the truck may have blown a tire and that it hit the median as a result."

More than three hours after the accident, police had still not removed the victims from the remains of the vehicle, a Chevrolet Avalanche.

Woodford said the female passenger was crushed upon impact and died immediately. The man driving the Avalanche was still conscious and breathing faintly when police arrived at the scene but he died before being removed from the car.

The driver of the dump truck was not injured. Witnesses, including the driver of a second dump truck, stopped at the scene but were unable to help the couple.

"There's nothing left of the vehicle, (the truck's tailgate) went straight through the front," Woodford said. "You can't plan for anything like this, it's like being struck by lightning or having a tree coming down on top of you.

"Everyone could have been doing everything perfectly right," he said, adding that he'd never heard of a tailgate coming off a dump truck before.

All lanes of Highway 400 between King Rd. and Highway 9 were closed yesterday afternoon.

Northbound lanes were reopened shortly after 7 p.m. but southbound traffic remained diverted until late into the night as police continued to investigate.
