A level-ride platform railgate designed for easy handling of wheeled carts, bins, and racks. Railgates have vertical tracks that weld to the rear frame of a pick-up truck, service body, stake body, truck body or trailer. The platform travels in these tracks via cables or chains in conjunction with a hydraulic cylinder, or the use of two hydraulic cylinders directly attached to the platform. In the travel position, the platform stores over the rear door.
