Lift Gate Assistant Counter Hinges

Your heavy countertop has created some problems. 

It looks nice, but its pass-through is hard to lift, disrupting your restaurant’s flow. Plus, that 50-pound folding countertop is an accident waiting to happen when employees begin to prop it up so they don’t have to keep lifting it. 

The Lift Gate Assistant solves this problem using motion control. Custom-made for your needs, these counter hinges take that heavy flip-up countertop and make it easy to lift – even with one finger. Plus, this counterbalanced hinge leaves you without the worry of the pass through falling and breaking or hurting someone.

I Entered My Lid Length & Lid Weight Into the Online Calculator, But It Tells Me “Out of Range. Please Contact Weber Knapp Support.” What Do I Do? 

Most often, this means that a slight weight adjustment is needed. This can typically be done by adding just a bit of weight underneath the lid to get within the needed lid torque range. Give us a call at (716) 484-9135. We will be happy to assist!

What is the Range of Lid Lengths the Lift Gate Supports?

Our lift hinges will work on lid lengths from 30” to 48”.
