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

Traffic trouble at Five Corners - Truck's tail gate accident on Beach Road


A work crew cleans up debris strewn along Beach Road and State Road when a dump truck's tailgate opened unexpectedly. The incident was one of three mishaps that delayed traffic at Five Corners in Vineyard Haven Friday, March 7th 2008


Traffic delays worthy of an August afternoon tied up the Five Corners intersection in Vineyard Haven Friday, March 7, when three separate incidents in about 15 minutes delayed motorists.

About 9:15 am, police responded to a minor accident on Beach Road, just outside the intersection. After a record check, police determined the license of one of the drivers, Denamos Moore, was revoked because of an insurance cancellation. Mr. Moore was arrested and transported to the Dukes County Jail for booking. The other driver, Lawrence Yorke, was not cited.

While the first fender-bender was being cleared, a truck owned by Clermont Construction, and driven by George Hearn, began strewing excavation debris along the roadway. The truck's tailgate opened on Beach Road near the Ralph Packer oil tank farm, and dropped gravel and large rocks from there, through Five Corners, and up Beach Street, before stopping in a parking lot at the corner of Main Street. Mr. Hearn was cited for transporting an unsecured load, and could be fined up to $200.

A front-end loader was called in to help clear the debris from the road, but before that was cleaned up, another minor accident on the opposite side of the Five Corners intersection required a police response.

Michael Sedlier of Oak Bluffs, who was driving a tractor and semi-trailer, was involved in a collision with a pick-up truck driven by Gregory Whitmore of West Tisbury.

There was minor damage to the pick-up. Neither driver was cited. Police say the gravel in the roadway did not contribute to third incident.
