RISE Robotics Launches the Beltdraulic™ Railgate at TMC

RISE Robotics unveiled the Beltdraulic Railgate 5500 at ATA’s TMC, introducing a breakthrough all-electric liftgate designed to maximize speed, reliability, and safety in medium and heavy-duty logistics operations. Unlike traditional hydraulic systems, the fluid-free design removes pumps, hoses, and the risk of oil leaks.

The Railgate 5500 is built for fleets that demand both speed and efficiency, operating twice as fast as comparable hydraulic systems while weighing 200 pounds less. Its faster lift times and lighter weight allow trucks to carry more while saving thirty minutes per route in a typical application. Fleet Directors gain the flexibility to increase capacity, streamline routes, and cut unexpected overtime.

With no hydraulic components to maintain, the Beltdraulic Railgate eliminates common service issues like seasonal oil changes, cracked hoses, and frequent system inspections. The state-of-the-art electric drive system is so efficient that it does not need a dual-pole connection, preventing starter battery drain. The Railgate 5500 consumes half the energy of hydraulic liftgates, thanks to its lighter weight and regenerative lowering system. With a five-year, 200,000-cycle warranty, the RISE Beltdraulic Railgate sets a new standard for reliability and long-term fleet performance.

The Railgate 5500 features corrosion-resistant materials and sealed electronics rated to IP67 standards, ensuring consistent operation across extreme temperatures and harsh road conditions. The liftgate’s intelligent controls provide smooth and precise platform movement, reducing wear on equipment, protecting cargo, and enhancing operator comfort and safety.

“The Beltdraulic Railgate 5500 is designed to keep fleets moving,” said Hiten Sonpal, CEO of RISE Robotics. “By addressing common pain points like slow cycle times and hydraulic maintenance, we are giving fleet operators the tools they need to stay ahead in today’s fast-paced logistics industry.”
