Tailgate delivery in Pittsburgh for 30,000lbs

good luck with that. Most hydraulic and or electric tailgate units have a capacity of 1500 lbs sometimes you can find the odd one to handle 2,000 pounds but I have never seen one that can handle 2500 lbs.
 
You need a rail gate as opposed to a standard tuckaway tailgates. Maxon rail gates have a capacity of 5000 to 6000 lbs. Rented a trailer from Train Trailer in Mississauga last winter to deliver 3000 lb skids of washer fluid to gas stations. The rail gate handled the skids and power walkie just fine.

There are Maxon tuckaway gates that can handle 3000 lbs but you won't find them on rental trailers..
Rail gates I prefer for the larger platform size and the safety chains but when they break..you're screwed and the trailer is effectively inoperable.

Maxon' GBT series of tuckaway gates can handle 5000 lbs
