lift gate

SUV back door

A lift gate is a powered platform attached to the rear of a truck or van that raises and lowers cargo between ground level and the truck bed.

It eliminates the need for loading docks or manual lifting of heavy items: The delivery driver lowered the lift gate to unload the refrigerator.

Also called a liftgate or tailgate lift.
