Looking For Tail Lift Vehicles In The Uk?

A tail lift is permanently fitted to the back of a van or lorry that is used to facilitate the materials handling of goods from ground level or a loading dock to the level of the load bed of the vehicle. There are two types of tail lift vehicles - hydraulic or pneumatic. These vehicles are controlled by an operator using an electric relay switch.

Tail lift vehicles are used in machinery such as a forklift truck in order to load heavy items on to a vehicle. They are also used to bridge the difference in height between a loading dock and the vehicle load bed.

Tail lifts are available for many sizes of vehicle, from standard vans to articulated Lorries, and standard models can lift heavy loads. There are two key types of tail lift available to operators - Column lifts and Cantilever lifts.

Column lifts are mechanical and they can be hydraulic or pneumatic. They run on tracks that are fitted to the rear of the vehicle. From the tracks, a folding platform extends, which can be taken up and down. They have an advantage of being able to lift to a higher level than the load bed. They are considered suitable for loads over more than one level in the truck. They are usually the easiest of the lift types to fit, as they require little structural work.

The disadvantages of column lifts include that the platform is only usually able to operate at a 90° angle from the track, meaning that on uneven surfaces, the lift will not meet the ground properly.

The other type of lift - cantilever lift - operates only on a hydraulic or pneumatic system. The system works by a set of rams attached to the chassis of the vehicle. These rams are on hinges, allowing them to move angle as they expand or contract. By using the rams in sequence, the working platform can either be tilted, or raised and lowered. They have the advantage of being able to tilt, which means they can often form a ramp arrangement, which may be more appropriate for some applications. It also means that it can be easier to load or unload on uneven ground.
