TAIL LIFT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Opening The Platform
a. Check that the platform retaining catch is fully engaged before commencing. Press the “DOWN” button
until the platform descends to a convenient height for opening.
N.B. The platform must drop approx. 100mm from the travelling position, to disengage the Traveloc,
before the platform can be opened.
b. Disengage the platform retaining catch on the side of the platform (Figure 1) and pull the platform out and
down to horizontal. Press down on the outer edge of the platform to automatically engage the anti-tilt latch.
THE LIFT IS NOW READY FOR USE
2. Operation of the Tail-lift
a. Raise the lift to vehicle floor level by pressing the “UP” button. Release the button immediately the runner
reaches the column stops.
N.B. Holding the button in beyond this point will cause undue wear on the pump.
b. Lower the platform by pressing the “DOWN” button.
3. Loading the Platform
a. Any load which is applied to the platform should be placed centrally, across the platform width
b. Do not apply a load which is greater than the Safe Working Load.
N.B. The SWL of the platform is certified at a load centre of 600mm from the rear edge of the platform (i.e
the edge nearest the rear of the vehicle). If the Centre of Gravity (CoG) of the load is located at a distance
which is greater than 600mm from the rear edge of the platform the SWL should be down rated according
to the chart shown in figure 4.
• Ensure that the load does not overhang the platform.
• Ensure that the load is stable and secure on the platform throughout the operational cycle.
N.B. Special care must be taken with wheeled loads such as roll pallets.
• Do not subject the lift to shock loading by dropping heavy loads onto the platform.
• Do not run forklifts etc. onto the platform even when the tail-lift is on the ground.
• Do not rest the leading edge of the platform on a loading dock for use as a bridge between the vehicle
and the loading dock.
• Do not move the vehicle with a load on the platform.
• Do not move the vehicle when the platform is not properly stowed.
N.B. If the platform is dropped vertically below vehicle floor level to enable direct loading e.g. as at a
loading dock, ensure that the vehicle is not moved until the platform has been raised to give sufficient
clearance to prevent damage to the platform pivot blades.
4. Closing the Platform
a. Raise the platform to a convenient height for closing.
N.B. Ensure that the traveloc retaining angle on the O/S platform blade locates below the traveloc plate on the column, when folding to a vertical
position.
b. Stand to the left hand side of the platform, lift the Anti-tilt Latch Lever (Figure 2) and lift the platform up to the vertical position where the
platform retaining catch will automatically engage. (see Figure 3: Traveloc engaged)
N.B. Ensure that the platform retaining catch is properly engaged before releasing the platform.
c. Press the “UP” button to raise the lift to the column stops where the platform will automatically engage the Traveloc.
