INTRODUCTION
In collaboration with a manufacturer of vertical lifts, PALFINGER Tail Lifts
has developed a tail lift system for transport vehicles (lorries and trailers)
that is ideally suited for lifting loads of up to 3000 kg. The tail lift is
exclusively intended for the vertical transport of cargo. Cargo can be
transported to different levels and loaded and unloaded with the tail lift
system.
The tail lift system is expressly not intended for the transport
of people!
The tail lift system was developed with a partner company of PALFINGER
Tail Lifts in an intensive research and testing programme. One of the aims of
this programme was to develop a lift with ideal operating comfort, function,
safety, ease of maintenance and service life while fulfilling all current EC
standards and regulations. Please read this operating manually carefully
and attentively before commissioning your tail lift.
The terms 'left', 'right', 'front' and 'rear' used in this manual refer to the
situation as observed in the direction of travel when standing behind the
vehicle with the mounted tail lift.
Intended use
The tail lift system is exclusively intended for the vertical transport of cargo.
Any other use voids any liability of PALFINGER Tail Lifts.
Target group
