Pair of hinged ramps - Available on all column lifts

                                               Permanently fixed to the platform of the lift and have three possible positions.

1. Opened, to form a ramp from the platform to the ground.                                                                   2. Locked vertically, to act as a trolley stop.                                                                                            3. Folded back on the platform surface before platform is closed, prior to vehicle movement.

Trolley stops - Available on all column and tuckunder lifts                                                                          The spring activated trolley stops are recommended as an alternative to hinged ramps, if wheeled trollies are loaded/unloaded. The stop is "inactive" until the lever is slid back by foot. When released, the trolley stop springs open automatically, preventing wheeled trollies from rolling off the platform.  

Detachable side guards - Available on all lifts                                         The lightweight guards are stored within the vehicle bodyworks. When required, the tail lift operator 'drops' the guards into sockets already fitted to the platform.

Barn door application - Available on all column lifts     

The tail lift housing (beam) is 'notched out' to allow the door rods to pass through as the doors are opened and closed. This is a very cost effective alternative to a 'top box' tail lift and is easier to service as all parts are situated below veicle floor level.

Deeper working platforms - Available on all lifts                                       We have the ability to increase the overall working size of the platform to suit a wide range of application needs. Please contact our sales team with information on the items you are lifting and they will help you spec the correct platform size for your needs.  

 

Dual mode aside guards - Available on column lifts    Our latest innovation, these guarsd offer the best of both worlds. They operate in the same way as the auto erect but with an additional feature. Instead of being permanently fixed to the platform, we have designed a quick release system to allow the guards to be manually pushed upwards and held securely in the upright position. This permits the platform to be loaded/unloaded from the side. When the guards are next required, simple unlatch from the vertical position and re-attach to the end of the platform.

Auto erect side guards - Available on column lifts      One end of each guard is fitted to the tail lift slider (runner) whilst the other is permanently fixed (nut and bolt) to the end of the platform. As the platform is opened the guards open automatically.

Wrap around side guards - Available on column lifts    The guards are permanently fixed to the tail lift sliders (runners). When the platform is opened the guards can be deployed by rotating them through 90 degrees and dropping them into sockets. The guards can be opened through 180 degrees if side off-loading is required.
