PHIL Autogate® Tailgate: Maximize Payload, Minimize Loss

A Volvo A25F articulated haul truck equipped with the PHIL Autogate® Tailgate retains full payload throughout the haul cycle—reducing material spillage, cutting road maintenance costs, and increasing profitability on every load.

How a Leading Mining Operation Cut Haul Road Maintenance by 40%

When it comes to maximizing payload efficiency and reducing operational costs, the numbers tell the story. A major North American mining operation faced constant challenges with material spillage, excessive road maintenance, and inconsistent cycle times. After installing Philippi-Hagenbuch Autogate® Tailgates across their fleet of off-highway haul trucks, they achieved measurable results within the first six months. Material retention improved dramatically, haul road grading hours dropped by 40%, and payload efficiency increased by an average of 8% per load. The Autogate® Tailgate's automatic operation—requiring no hydraulics or electrical systems—delivered faster cycle times and reduced maintenance interventions, translating directly to improved uptime and profitability shift after shift.

Fleet Manager, Mining & Quarry Operations

Jennifer Caldwell

"We operate a fleet of CAT 777s in a high-production quarry environment. Since installing PHIL Autogate® Tailgates, we've seen measurable improvements in cycle times and payload retention. Less material on the roads means safer conditions and lower operating costs. The tailgates are built to last - no maintenance required."

Mine Manager, Open-Pit Iron Ore Operation

Carlos Mendoza

"The Autogate® system is engineered to perform in the toughest conditions. We haul iron ore in extreme heat and dust, and these tailgates have operated flawlessly for over 15,000 hours. Full payload retention means more material moved per truck, per shift. PHIL's custom engineering approach is unmatched in our industry."
