Tail lift on/off switch
[min. 1 compulsory]. Depending on configuration,
the electrical power to the tail lift is switched on / off by means of:
1.
A
cabin switch
(provided by the truck manufacturer or
DHOLLANDIA [option OAE503.2]). This switch enables the
operator to switch the control power to the main exterior control box
on / off. If equipped with a position sensor [option OAE502], it also
provides a signal if the platform is stowed in its travel position or left
open.
2.
A
main battery disconnect switch
integrated in the exterior
control box [optional]. This switch enables the operator to switch the
main battery power to the tail lift on / off. If available, the operator
MUST switch off the main battery disconnect switch after each use
of the tail lift.
3.
A combination of both.
Fuses
[standard]. A 15A fuse for the electrical control circuit comes mounted in the pump unit and in the main exterior control
box (for most types). A 150 – 250A fuse for the electrical main battery circuit is supplied by the truck manufacturer or by
DHOLLANDIA. Both fuses protect the electrical circuits against short-circuits and amperage peaks.
Protection of toes and feet against crushing and sheering
[1 min.
compulsory]. The tail lift standard EN1756-1 and DHOLLANDIA’s fitting
manuals provide a number of solutions to prevent the operator from
crushing their toes or feet between the inboard platform edge of the rising
platform and the rear cross member of the vehicle floor. At least 1 solution,
ordered from DHOLLANDIA, or released during installation, must be
foreseen. Consult the installation manual FIT-ELEC-OPTION in its latest
version. In case of doubt, contact DHOLLANDIA. See page 3 for contact
information.
Foot controls
[optional]. See also previous point. Platform mounted foot
controls (2 buttons or 4 buttons) immobilise the feet of the operator in a
safe position on the platform and protect him / her from crushing their toes
or feet between the inboard platform edge of the rising platform and the
rear cross member of the vehicle floor.
Cart stops
[optional]. If a platform is aimed at LIFTING and LOWERING
loads that cannot be braked or secured by their design or their method of
transportation, the platform MUST be equipped with cart-stops that
prevent the load from accidentally rolling off the platform and hitting the
operator or any bystanders. DHOLLANDIA offers a variety of cart-stops
that can be fitted near the outboard platform edge, or at intermediate
distances.
