As a member of Women In Trucking, you have an interest in helping us promote our mission for success to our drivers, mechanics, and those in leadership roles.

The Patriot Lift Company (http://www.patriotlift.com) has patented a pneumatic landing gear & rear stabilizer automation product that aligns with our goal to minimize obstacles for women in the trucking industry. Patriot Lift and WIT are partnering to optimize technology and leverage creative products to aid in the goal to increase productivity, improve safety, and retain drivers. The Patriot Lift systems are 100 percent pneumatic and reliable – and require no batteries, solar panels, or hydraulics.

“The Patriot Lift Company is pleased to enter into this win-win partnership with Women In Trucking,” said Dave Rivers Sr., Patriot Lift Co. CEO & Chairman. “We feel it is essential to align ourselves for the future with partnerships that optimize ergonomic goals and genuinely improve the trucking workplace.” With the average age of drivers increasing and the need for more women drivers, this product provides the ability to eliminate the cranking of landing gear and to bring the workplace to a more productive and employee friendly environment.

The Patriot Lift products offer a welcome boost to all drivers and cargo handlers. These systems can save drivers from painful and expensive medical conditions when landing gear related injuries are reduced or eliminated. The payback period for the Patriot Lift Systems are often two to three months, with some fleet owners experiencing increases in productivity of 20 to 30 percent, all while improving service to their customers.
