A lift gate apparatus, comprising:
- a first conveyor device;
- a mounting component configured to operably attach the first conveyor device to a second conveyor device;
- and
- a bracket that includes at least one roller, wherein the bracket is configured to bridge a gap between the first conveyor device and the second conveyor device when the first conveyor device is transitioned from a conveying position to a non-conveying position, and wherein the bracket is configured to rotate about a pivot point to extend the bracket towards and over the second conveyor device in an instance in which the first conveyor device is transitioned from the conveying position to the non-conveying position.
