When Javier started his local furniture delivery business in San Diego, he underestimated one thing: gravity.
It wasn’t the weight of the oak tables or marble countertops that got to him—it was lifting them in and out of his truck, day after day. That’s when he discovered the power of a liftgate.
Chapter 1: The Folding Liftgate that Changed Everything
Javier upgraded to a box truck with liftgate—a sturdy Hino equipped with a Palfinger folding liftgate, courtesy of C&M Motors. Suddenly, deliveries that used to take two people and a back brace could be done solo, and faster.
The folding liftgate folded neatly under the chassis when not in use, giving him more maneuverability in tight San Diego streets. And the hydraulic controls? Smooth as silk.
“It’s like having an extra pair of hands,” Javier says. “Only these hands lift 2,000 pounds.”
Chapter 2: The Tuck-Under Liftgate for Last-Mile Masters
Next door, a local organic grocery chain was facing a different challenge. Their drivers made frequent stops in tight alleys and loading zones.
The answer? A liftgate truck with a tuck-under model—compact, reliable, and out of the way until needed.
C&M Motors had exactly what they were looking for: a truck rental with liftgate that fit their short-term, high-volume delivery needs. For seasonal spikes or unexpected demand, the rental option was a game changer.
“No more worrying about driver injuries or customer complaints. Everything’s delivered safely, on time, and intact.”
Chapter 3: Rail-Style Liftgates for Heavy-Duty Hauling
A construction supply company needed to move pallets of concrete mix and steel hardware. The solution: a rail-style liftgate capable of lifting heavy-duty cargo with ease.
C&M Motors not only outfitted their truck with a Maxon rail liftgate, but also added aluminum cart stops and E‑Track systems for maximum safety.
From box trucks with liftgates to fully customized liftgate trucks, C&M Motors has helped countless businesses across Southern California lift smarter—not harder.

Liftgates: Enhancing Load Efficiency
Liftgates are a crucial addition to any commercial truck, especially for businesses that deal with heavy or bulky cargo. These hydraulic platforms are mounted to the rear of the truck, enabling easy loading and unloading of goods. Whether you’re transporting pallets, heavy equipment, or fragile items, a liftgate minimizes the risk of injury and damage by allowing for smooth, controlled lifting and lowering.
At C&M Motors, we offer a variety of Palfinger liftgate options tailored to different truck models and load capacities. Our expert team assists in selecting the right liftgate for your specific needs, ensuring that it aligns with your operational requirements. Additionally, our professional installation services guarantee that your liftgate is securely fitted and ready for use, providing peace of mind that it will perform reliably under demanding conditions.
Pulltarps: Protecting Your Cargo
Pulltarps are another essential accessory, particularly for trucks that carry loose materials or cargo exposed to the elements. A well-installed pulltarp system keeps your load secure, preventing debris from escaping and shielding your cargo from weather conditions like rain, wind, and sun. This is particularly important for businesses involved in construction, landscaping, and waste management, where material integrity is paramount.
We offer a range of pulltarps, from manual to fully automated systems, each designed to meet different operational needs. Our installation process is thorough and precise, ensuring that your pulltarp operates smoothly and effectively, extending the lifespan of both the tarp and the truck.
