2.  Lengthen or shorten the wheel and channel assembly 

on the tube, as desired.

3.  Align the two holes in the wheel and channel 

assembly with the holes in the tube nearest the 

desired position.

4.  Re-install the two bolts and nuts. Tighten the nuts to 

secure the wheel and channel assembly.

4.4  Platform Adjustment

The ramp (outboard) end of the platform should be 1/2 to 

3/4 inches higher than the truck floor when in the raised 

position. If the outboard end of the platform is sagging, 

add shims as described below. Shimming is a normal 

procedure as the liftgate ages, and the parts become 

worn.

1.  The platform should lower parallel to the ground until 

the back portion nearest the truck touches. It should 

then tilt forward until the front edge touches the ground.

2.  To raise the ramp end:

a.  Temporarily position a shim plate in the contact 

area (arrows), between the cam plates and 

platform, with tape.

Note:

One shim can move the ramp end of the platform 

as much as 1/2 inch.

b.  Raise and lower the platform to recheck its 

position.

c.  On steel or galvanized platforms, weld the steel 

shim plates to the blocks on the platform. On 

aluminum platforms, add the shim between the 

stop block and the platform.

3.  To lower the ramp end, remove material from the 

contact area (arrows shown in Step 2) between the 

cam plates and platform.

4.  If the platform does not align with the floor extension, 

contact Anthony Liftgates for a solution to correct the 

problem.
