Is TailHand compatible with my truck?

TailHand is compatible with almost all standard pickup truck tailgates. Our easy-to-install frame provides the flexibility you need to ensure a secure installation, regardless of your truck's make or model. Check out our exact specifications to confirm the TailHand fits your truck. 

Certain features, such as auto-open tailgates, split tailgates or unfolding steps, may not be compatible with TailHand.   

Will TailHand interfere with anything in the bed of my truck?

The TailHand platform is 2.5” deep and should not interfere with factory-installed truck bed features. However, it’s always a good idea to measure your specific truck in advance to be sure the TailHand will not interfere with your unique set-up. Check out our detailed specifications.

Does the TailHand require installation?

Yes but we've made sure it’s fast and easy to do. Installing TailHand is a simple 3-step process: first you’ll install the frame to your tailgate and then you’ll attach the TailHand work surface to the frame. Every TailHand ships with easy-to-understand installation instructions and you can always check out our install video.

How durable is my TailHand?

The TailHand work surface is constructed of aluminum, all manufactured in the USA. The TailHand work surface is powder coated to provide superior corrosion resistance and UV protection and ensures your TailHand works as hard as you do.

How much weight can the TailHand hold? 

The TailHand is designed to handle heavy-duty tasks with ease, offering exceptional strength and stability. While we don’t provide a specific weight limit, we’ve tested it extensively with a wide range of tools, materials, and equipment to ensure it meets the demands of professionals and DIYers alike.

Pickup truck tailgates have their own weight limits. It’s important that you check your truck’s individual owners manual to be sure you protect your tailgate when increasing your Truckability®. 

Can I remove my TailHand and reinstall it on another tailgate?

Yes! It is easy to remove your TailHand and install it on another tailgate, which increases the value of your TailHand. Whether you’d like to purchase a second frame for easy movement between multiple tailgates or simply detach your original frame and install it on an alternate tailgate, your TailHand can go with you to increase your Workability®. 

Why are there notches in the dog holes in your pictures and videos?

In an effort to develop a well-designed, versatile and strong product, our team has worked through a variety of changes, adjustments and updates to TailHand prior to launching to our customers.

You'll see several variations across images and videos on the website that will not be on the final TailHand you receive. Two specific things you will see on the website that WILL NOT be on your TailHand are:

1. Notches in the dog holes. Your TailHand will have normal, full-circle dog holes.

2. Green t-tracks. Your TailHand will have a black surface and black t-tracks.

We are already working on future features and products so, if you have ideas of what you would like to see in the future, please let us know by emailing your ideas to ideas@tailhand.com.
