Tail lift: standard or custom — how to choose

12 January 20263 min read

Choosing a tail lift is not just a budget question. Well-specified equipment means productivity gained and everyday safety.

The criteria to review

  • The load capacity required (in kg) for what you handle.
  • The vehicle type: van, rigid truck, trailer… and the space available.
  • The lift type: folding, retractable, column — according to use.
  • The nature of operations: pallets, roll cages, city delivery, accessibility.

Standard or custom?

A standard tail lift covers most needs and is the quickest, most economical solution. For specific constraints — atypical vehicle, special loads — a custom tail lift is called for. We work with the market's leading brands (Dhollandia, Bär Cargolift and all brands) and handle sales, installation and commissioning.

The accessibility case (PRM)

For transporting people with reduced mobility, accessibility lifts and ramps meet specific safety and sizing requirements. It pays to be advised up front.

Unsure which model suits your vehicle? Our technicians advise you and size the equipment with you, with no obligation.

Before buying, review your actual rounds: it is daily use, more than purchase price, that determines the right tail lift.
