Important Notes
Your PALFINGER Liftgates MiniFix is a cargo van lift design, electro-hydraulically driven lift gate.
The Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) is easily accessible for service and exchange and is placed in a box
underneath the Truck.
Lifting actions are carried out by one hydraulic lift cylinder mounted to the lift arm.
The hydraulic tilt cylinder under the platform is controlling the tilting action. This enables the platform to
maintain its position throughout the lift mode, regardless of the terrain.
The hydraulic cylinders are equipped with solenoid operated valves located at the port of each cylinder. This
prevents the platform from moving unless the operator is activating the controls. This system also enables you
to store the lift gate without a separate platform latch.
The piston rods are treated against corrosion and also protected with plastic or rubber boots to protect from
road gravel and dirt. The Hydraulic Power Unit is equipped with a built-in pressure relief valve, which prevents
overloading when lifting and tilting up.
The valves do not prevent overloading of the platform when lowering or tilting down.
The electric supply is taken from the vehicle battery. If the vehicle battery is not sufficient, an auxiliary battery
kit needs to be installed. The electric control power is secured via a 20 Amp fuse and an on-off switch located
inside the cab. The switch has L.E.D. lights indicating when the control power is on.
