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 - Loading your Truck properly


Loading of your Truck:

-Loading of the box front-to-back must meet allowable gross weight and axle weight limitations set by the Department of Transportation (DOT). From side to side it is best to load as evenly as possible.

-If material is likely to flow poorly, lighten up the load in the top end of the box. A slightly smaller load will be better than a full load that causes a tip-over.

-Box liners will help most materials flow better during dumping. Liners also help to keep the box in good condition.

Dump Truck Safety Tip - Dump Truck Stability


Dump Truck Stability is adversely affected by one or more of the following factors:

-the unit is not on a level surface when dumping.

-a large amount of material is in the upper portion of the raised box.

-material does not flow out of the top portion of the box, or does not flow out of one side of the top portion.

-the rear wheels settle unevenly as the load moves to the rear during dumping.

-wind may exert lateral loads, especially if the box is long, as is the case with end-dump semi-trailers.
Stability may also be affected by the unit's mechanical condition:

-Poor rear suspension systems on one side of the vehicle.
-Uneven tire pressures in rear wheels.

-Worn or inadequate components of the lifting system such as pins.

-Worn or inadequate lifting cylinders.
