Loading or Unloading the Platform on the Ground

Roll or lift the payload onto the platform.

Secure any rolling containers on the tail lift by installed
brake devices or roll-off protections.
Loading or Unloading the Platform at a Ramp
You can load your vehicle at a ramp in two possible ways:
1. You can use a separate dock plate. Make sure that
sufficient space for tail lift exists under the ramp (see figure
on the left)!
2. You can use the tail lift itself as dock plate at a ramp. Make
sure that the platform edge overlaps the ramp at least
150 mm (see figure on the left).
Note: The maximum permissible load must not be exceeded.
The tail lifts are equipped with a float mode. The float mode is
a safety feature. When the vehicle lowers itself during loading,
the float mode causes the platform to automatically yield and
reposition itself. This does not apply to column lifts.
The float mode does not function during unloading. You must
manually lower the platform. Thus you prevent a gap between
platform and ramp where you could trip.
CAUTION! Risk of falling when loading at a ramp!
Person can trip and fall down if there is an edge between
ramp and platform during loading or unloading.

When the vehicle is unloaded and is lifted up by the spring
action, lower the platform manually.
