TOPOLO-TRUCK supplies refrigerated truck boxes and dry cargo truck boxes with tail lifts.
The truck tail lift (also known as the liftgate) is a hydraulic lifting and loading equipment powered by the onboard battery installed on the rear of the vehicle. The truck lift tailgate system avoids dependence on forklifts and other transportation tools, allowing cargo to be loaded and unloaded conveniently and quickly anytime, anywhere. Ensure that truck efficiency is not reduced due to loading and unloading problems. Tail lift trucks are widely used in express delivery, petrochemical, food, machinery manufacturing and other industries. They are one of the necessary equipment for modern logistics and transportation.
Type of Tail Lifts
They are classified according to their structure and working principles. Here are a few common types of truck tailgate lifts:
- Cantilever Tail Lift
The cantilevered tail lift pivots at a point, extends outward horizontally, and then descends vertically. This design allows for more flexibility in loading and unloading cargo in tight spaces or uneven terrain. Its notable features are large load capacity and low failure rate. They can usually support different weights, ranging from hundreds of pounds to thousands of pounds.
- Column Tail Lift
This type of tailgate is usually driven by a hydraulic system or an electric motor and operates by providing lifting force. The vertical tailgate rises and falls vertically along a straight line. It is connected to the rear of the truck and provides a platform for cargo can be easily moved into the truck. It has a simple structure, easy installation and small load capacity, and is suitable for various small trucks.
- Retractable Tail Lift
This type of tail lift operates by sliding horizontally along the rear of the vehicle, allowing it to retract fully underneath the truck or trailer when not in use. When needed, the tail lift can be extended outward and lowered to the ground to facilitate the loading and unloading of cargo. Slider tail lifts are particularly useful for trucks that require unobstructed access to their cargo area when the liftgate is not in use. By retracting underneath the truck, they eliminate the risk of damage from low-hanging obstacles or the need for additional clearance space.
- Foldable Tail Lift
Folding tail lifts usually consist of several foldable panels that can be unfolded when needed to create a flat loading platform. When the tailgate is not in use, these panels can be folded up to stow away and take up less space. This design makes the folding tail lift particularly useful in situations where space is limited, as it minimizes the space the tailgate takes up.
