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

Dump Truck Safety Tip - LOOK UP LOOK OUT BEFORE YOU LIFT YOUR LOAD


In 2006 there were 3 dump truck related deaths in Ontario.
Dump truck drivers and construction workers must ensure they are aware of the location and voltage of overhead powerlines where they are working.
Most overhead powerlines are not insulated. Metal objects that contact these lines become energized to the same voltage as the line. Dump trucks are included. Tires can act as an insulator until they blow. At this time the vehicle and the ground around it will become energized. If tires do not blow drivers should check these for damage.
The Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) recommends that drivers and workers maintain a distance of more than 10 feet from powerlines on poles. The Occupational Health & Safety Act & Regulations mandate the safe limits of approach to overhead powerlines based on voltage ratings.
Drivers and workers must be made aware of overhead powerline hazards and know what safe limits of approach to adhere to. Caution should be taken not only when lifting the dump truck box – but also when lowering this to avoid unexpected contact with overhead powerlines.
In the event that your vehicle comes in contact with a powerline – A driver can be electrocuted if he/she attempts to leave the truck. Warn others to Stay Back! If someone were to touch the side of the truck they would be electrocuted by the energized dump truck. In 2006 three people were electrocuted as a result of dump truck contact with a powerline.
In addition the ground around an energized vehicle will carry electricity for up to 35 feet.
In the event of a powerline call 911 or the Local Distribution Company (Electrical Utility) to ensure that power on the powerline is disconnected.
