Anteo USA

What Anteo USA does

Anteo USA is a North American liftgate manufacturer and the US-market subsidiary of Woodbine Manufacturing Co. Inc. (the maker of Tommy Gate), established through a partnership and investment in Anteo S.P.A., a 50-year-old Italian liftgate engineering firm based in Molinella, Italy. Operating from Woodbine, Iowa, with a legal office in Scottsdale, Arizona, the company designs, manufactures, and distributes premium lightweight hydraulic liftgates for commercial trucks, box trucks, semi-trailers, and fleet vehicles.

The product portfolio comprises ten SKUs organized into three series: Tuckunder liftgates (REP25, REP33, REP44) with 2,500-4,400 lb capacity designed to stow beneath the vehicle body; Retractable liftgates (F3RE38, F3RE49, F3RE66) with 3,800-6,600 lb capacity featuring aluminum sliders, five cylinders, and memory-tilt controls with platforms up to 84 inches deep; and Cantilever liftgates (F3CL18, F3CL38, F3CL49, F3CL66) with 1,800-6,600 lb capacity and large side-loadable platforms up to 102 x 102 inches. The underlying technology is hydraulic actuation with proprietary dynamic leveling, programmable memory-tilt for terrain compensation, lightweight aluminum platforms (e.g., REP25 at 505-516 lbs with 2,500 lb capacity), and a KTL hexacrylic electro-cataphorese painting process for corrosion resistance.

Anteo USA sells exclusively through an authorized dealer network across North America, leveraging Woodbine's existing Tommy Gate distribution and service infrastructure. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales (quote-based pricing, 1% 10 Net 30 terms for approved accounts), OEM replacement parts via the genuineliftgateparts.com e-commerce store, and warranty replacements under a 2-year limited warranty. Target customers include commercial fleet operators, food and beverage distributors, logistics and telecommunications fleets, municipal and government fleets, and entertainment industry operators such as theme parks and movie studios.
