Professional Liftgate Delivery for Hard-to-Reach Locations
Not every business or delivery destination has a loading dock, but that shouldn’t stop your shipment from arriving smoothly. That’s why Comet Delivery Services offers professional Liftgate Delivery throughout South Florida, including Miami, Doral, Fort Lauderdale, and surrounding areas.
Whether you’re delivering to a retail storefront, office park, warehouse, or residence, our fleet of liftgate-equipped trucks ensures your freight can be safely unloaded—no forklift or dock required. We make last-mile and curbside deliveries simple, even for bulky or palletized freight.
If you need dependable logistics for locations without dock-height access, liftgate delivery is the solution that gets your shipment on the ground safely and on time.
What Is Liftgate Delivery?
Liftgate delivery refers to freight shipments handled by trucks equipped with hydraulic liftgates, which are mechanical platforms mounted to the back of trucks that can raise or lower heavy freight between the truck bed and ground level. This is essential for deliveries to locations where forklifts or loading docks are not available.
Businesses rely on liftgate delivery to support shipments that are too large or heavy to be manually handled, particularly in environments like retail stores, small medical offices, residences, and job sites. Whether it’s a single pallet of merchandise, a piece of equipment, or multiple crates, liftgate service ensures safe delivery and proper unloading without placing the burden on your customer or receiving location.
Liftgate Services That Go Beyond the Curb
At Comet, we specialize in liftgate solutions designed to meet real-world needs. Our trucks are equipped to handle ground-level deliveries with stability and precision. If you're shipping bulky freight to a location without a dock or if your client lacks offloading equipment, our drivers can lower the shipment safely to ground level, eliminating the risk of damage or injury during unloading.
For deliveries to homes, construction sites, or retail locations in urban plazas or shopping centers, our liftgate service offers a dependable way to complete last-mile deliveries. We ensure that freight is unloaded safely, positioned as needed, and ready for access—no forklifts required.
Inside Delivery & Final Placement Options
In addition to unloading at the curb, we also provide inside delivery upon request. This service moves your shipment past the threshold and into the receiving area—ideal for offices, clinics, salons, and other businesses that require assistance getting freight to the right place. If you're shipping medical devices, showroom displays, or IT equipment, inside delivery ensures your cargo is placed exactly where it needs to be.
We also offer white-glove options for high-value or sensitive shipments. These include room-of-choice delivery, light assembly (if applicable), and removal of packaging materials. Whether you’re setting up for a trade show or delivering furniture to a client, Comet’s team brings the professionalism and care required for final-mile success.
Liftgate Service Integrated with LTL, Hot Shot, and Same-Day Freight
Our liftgate-equipped vehicles are available for a wide range of shipping methods—including Less-Than-Truckload (LTL), Hot Shot, and same-day deliveries. This flexibility allows us to provide a complete delivery solution based on your freight volume, destination type, and urgency.
If you’re sending a small pallet to a storefront downtown or coordinating emergency equipment delivery to a job site after hours, our team will dispatch the right vehicle and coordinate arrival based on your schedule and site requirements. Whether it’s one delivery or part of a larger freight strategy, we’ll make sure it gets there smoothly and safely.
Industries That Benefit from Liftgate Delivery
Our liftgate delivery services are used across a wide variety of industries that need flexibility without sacrificing speed or safety. In the retail and e-commerce space, we frequently handle deliveries of product displays, fixtures, and merchandise to shopping centers and pop-up locations. For healthcare providers, our team delivers bulky medical equipment or supplies directly to clinics and offices that don’t have commercial receiving docks.
We also support construction and contracting firms by delivering materials and equipment to job sites without dock access. Manufacturers and distributors often use liftgate delivery to send products directly to end-users or smaller resellers. In the events and audio-visual sector, our liftgate service is a reliable option for safely unloading staging gear, booths, and electronics at venues with tight delivery conditions.
Whether you're arranging a one-time delivery or managing recurring drops, Comet can design a plan that matches your industry, timeline, and delivery profile.
What’s Included in Comet’s Liftgate Delivery Services?
Every liftgate delivery includes access to our fleet of trucks equipped with hydraulic liftgates that are maintained to high safety standards. These liftgates support a wide range of freight sizes and weights, making them perfect for deliveries that cannot be handled by hand or rolled off on standard docks. Whether your shipment includes oversized retail products, sensitive medical gear, or crated machinery, our liftgate-equipped vehicles are ready to get the job done without incident.
Our drivers are not just licensed operators—they’re professionals who represent Comet on every delivery. They operate liftgate equipment with care and coordinate delivery procedures to minimize disruption and ensure clean handoffs. Whether they’re delivering to a quiet residential street or a busy retail complex, our team brings professionalism to every job.
Comet also understands that delivery windows don’t always fit into a traditional 9-to-5 schedule. That’s why we offer flexible delivery windows, including early mornings, evenings, weekends, and even holidays if needed. If your shipment has to arrive before store opening, after hours, or during a tight installation window, we’ll work with you to schedule accordingly and hit the mark.
Delivery Visibility and Proof of Completion
You’ll never be left wondering where your shipment is, If you need an update, a quick call to our 24/7 logistics team gets you a real-time location update from the driver on the ground. We maintain constant communication between dispatch and drivers to ensure updates are available at any point during the delivery process.
Once your shipment is delivered, we provide clear and verifiable proof of delivery, including timestamps, digital signatures, and optional photo documentation upon request. You’ll know when it arrived, who received it, and what condition it was in, giving you peace of mind and accountability across your supply chain.
How do I know if I need liftgate delivery?
If the delivery location doesn't have a loading dock, forklift, or receiving team to offload freight, liftgate delivery is the safest and most practical option. It allows freight to be lowered to ground level without special equipment or manual lifting—reducing the risk of damage and injury.
