12. Load testing the tail lift
Testing and verification of the tail lift.
Carried out in accordance with the installation
instruction and delivery check list.
Check that the tail lift chosen corresponds to the
vehicle and to its foreseen use.
Static loading test
To be carried out when installation is complete.
Deformation
Position the tail lift with the platform horizontal about
half way between the ground and the vehicle floor.
Measure the distances A,B,C,D as shown in the
diagram. Place a test load on the platform according
to the table (for the corresponding tail lift model and
loading capacity). Remove the load from the
platform. Repeat the measurements of A,B,C,D and
check that there is no permanent deformation to the
tail lift or its brackets.
Deflection
Place a test load on the platform according to the
table (for the corresponding tail lift model and loading
capacity). The tail lift should be in the same level and
angle as floor. Leave the test load on the platform for
15 minutes. Check that the platform´s deflection is
not more than 15mm vertically (point A and D) and
that it is not more than 2º in angular deflection (point
b and C), in relation to floor level.
