Innovative initial lubrication

The innovative initial lubrication of the sliding mechanism ensures particularly smooth, even and jerk-free extension and retraction of the tail lift from the very first operation. The centrally positioned sliding cylinder acts as a powerful drive, guaranteeing precise movements, high reliability and noticeable operating comfort in daily use.

Discover Standard Features

Robust lifting mechanism for precise movement

The lifting mechanism with two lifting cylinders, two tilting cylinders and one moving cylinder ensures precise, smooth movements. The platform serves as underrun protection device. All steel components are KTL-coated as standard, providing optimal corrosion protection. An additional powder coating is available as an option, further increasing the durability and service life of the tail lift.

Aluminium platform for everyday use

The AluPlan aluminium platform for retractable tail lifts features a standard non-slip surface (R10) that ensures secure footing during loading and unloading. Warning lights and warning flags are included as standard, ensuring safe and comfortable operation in daily distribution work.

Comfortable operation as standard

The tail lift is equipped as standard with a control box. This robust and proven control unit features ergonomic control switches for safe and comfortable operation of the tail lift. It is mounted underneath the vehicle body, while a foldable cover reliably protects the switches from external influences.

Reliable control with MBB Control

MBB Control is the central control unit of the tail lift, connecting all key components for precise and responsive movement sequences. The processor-based control system enables individual software adjustments for various vehicle and application requirements. Integrated diagnostic functions support quick error analysis and ensure maximum reliability in daily operation.

Optional Features

Protective features for long-lasting platform durability

Additional protective bars for warning lights and foot switches reliably protect components from damage. These protective options enhance platform durability and reduce maintenance effort – even in demanding working environments.

alt text

Roll-stops for increased safety

Roll-stops are available in various versions. They prevent roll containers and other wheeled loads from unintentionally rolling off the platform during loading and unloading, thereby increasing safety and control in daily operation.

alt text

Flexible operating options

In addition to the control box, various control units are available – from foot switches to the Remote Control BT and wanderlead controls. This allows each tail lift to be perfectly adapted to its specific area of application.

alt text

Individual software options

Various software options are available for additional functions or specific application requirements. These allow customised control adjustments and can be tailored to customer-specific requirements and application profiles – ensuring greater comfort, efficiency and safety in daily operation.
