Aggregates

Philippi-Hagenbuch, Inc. started with an idea for a simple product - a tailgate for off-highway haul trucks. After retiring from a large multi-national off-highway truck manufacturer that wasn't interested in this idea and thus signed off on the rights, L.B. Philippi partnered with his son-in-law LeRoy Hagenbuch to design, engineer, sell and fabricate the world's first commercially available tailgate, which became known as our Autogate Tailgate. The rest is history. To date, PHIL has designed and built tailgates for just about every make and model of off-highway haul truck available. With over 12,000 having been installed, PHIL has become the global leader in off-highway haul truck customization. When you're ready to squeeze every last ounce of payload out of your fleet, we'll be here for you.

TAILGATE SAVINGS CALCULATOR

PHIL Autogate® Tailgates typically provide 10% to 20% additional volumetric capacity. Do the math below to see how adding tailgates to your fleet will impact your bottom line, with no additional trucks or labor.

Additional Information

Loading

Faster, More Efficient Loading is the goal. An example whould be a 40 ton capacity haul truck that is being loaded with 4 passes. With a tailgate extending the truck bed length to 17' 5" the loader size can be increased from 7 yards to 12.5 yards, allowing one less pass plus more load while containing the load within the bed.

Rear End Spillage

Half of the time spent on haul roads is for cleaning; the other half is maintaining - so cut your time in half and save by keeping the load in the body with tailgates.

Tire Costs

The hours in a Manufacturers Performance Book show expected tire life of 10,000 hours. Where cleaner haul roads are present, hours jump to 12,000, or a 40% increase in tire life. What type of tire life are you achieving? Is it less than 12,000 hours? Less than 10,000 hours? What have you tried to decrease tire damage and increase tire life? Tailgates help!
