Custom Liftgate Springs: Torsion and Extension Spring Manufacturing

Liftgates are essential for safe and efficient loading and unloading in commercial trucks, delivery vehicles, and service fleets. Many liftgate designs rely on heavy-duty torsion springs or extension springs to assist with lifting, balancing, and controlling gate movement.
At Ace Wire Spring & Form Co., Inc., we manufacture custom liftgate springs built for durability, precise fit, and consistent performance across a variety of truck and trailer applications.

Liftgate Torsion Springs for Commercial Trucks

Torsion springs are one of the most common components in spring-assisted liftgates. They store and release rotational energy, helping operators raise or lower the liftgate with minimal effort.

We supply custom torsion springs for many liftgate types, including:

• Overhead liftgates with spring-assisted counterbalance

• Folding platform liftgates that require rotational support

• Utility truck liftgates designed for repetitive, heavy-duty use

Benefits of Ace Wire Spring liftgate torsion springs:

• Engineered for high cycle life and consistent torque output

• Manufactured to tight tolerances for secure fit in OEM assemblies

• Available in a variety of wire sizes, materials, and finishes for corrosion resistance

Custom Liftgate Extension Springs

Some liftgate models use extension springs instead of torsion springs to absorb force and assist with gate positioning. We design and manufacture custom extension springs for liftgates that require:

• Controlled lift and lowering

• Balanced movement for heavier platforms

• Reduced operator fatigue during daily use

Our extension springs for liftgates are built with premium materials and finishing processes to withstand outdoor exposure, heavy loads, and constant motion.

Ace Wire Spring supports both original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and aftermarket service providers with:

• OEM replacement liftgate springs built to match original specs

• Prototyping services for new liftgate models or design upgrades
