Philippi-Hagenbuch Inc., a global leader in off-highway truck customization, has revolutionized a new version of their Autogate® Tailgate – a PHIL innovation unveiled 50 years ago specifically for Komatsu rigid frame trucks. With its introduction in 1969, PHIL’s Autogate Tailgate was the first commercially available tailgate and has since become the de facto standard in off-highway truck tailgates utilized in quarries and mines around the world.
Philippi-Hagenbuch Inc., a global leader in off-highway truck customization, has invented a new version of their Autogate® Tailgate specifically for off-highway trucks and roll-off containers that require a 100% positive seal. This new design can be paired with PHIL’s proprietary fluidic seal material to create a water-tight seal that contains liquid materials within an off-highway truck body or roll-off container when environmental regulations or local laws make even slight spillage undesirable.
Philippi-Hagenbuch, Inc., the Peoria, Illinois based specialty manufacturer of off-highway truck enhancements, continues innovating as they kick off their yearlong 50th Anniversary Celebration.
PHIL introduces the Push Block for articulated and rigid-frame trucks; it has been engineered to integrate with the rear chassis of off-highway trucks ranging from 20 to 400 tons.
