DHOLLANDIA
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from falling, DHOLLANDIA recommends the use of safety
rails along the exposed edges of the tail lift platform. Safety rails may be purchased along with your tail lift at
the initial order or may be purchased and retrofitted to your tail lift later. Please see www.dhollandia.com for
further information or contact your national DHOLLANDIA distributor. See page 3 for contact info.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR WORKING AT LOADING DOCKS
When using the tail lift platform as a bridge plate between the loading floor of the vehicle and the loading dock, follow the instructions
below:
WARNING
Improper use of the tail lift may result in damage, premature wear or failure of the tail lift, and will increase the risk of serious
injury or death to the operator and other persons nearby.
In order to maximize the durability, ensure long-term reliability of the tail lift, and protect operators and bystanders from serious
bodily injury or death, the operator must comply with the loading instructions and safe working procedures below.
When working at a loading dock, keep the platform securely stowed in
its travel position to avoid damage. Drive the load directly from the dock
onto the vehicle floor (or vice versa).
Make sure you reverse slowly, to avoid heavy impact of the liftgate
against the loading dock. Failure to do so can cause severe damage to
the liftgate, extension plate, dock bumpers, and the vehicle body.
Example: demounted safety rails
Example: hinged safety rails
It is forbidden to use a foldable platform as a
bridge plate between the vehicle floor and a
loading dock. Keep the platform securely
stowed in its travel position to avoid damage.
