A tail lift is a platform at the rear of the vehicle that lowers a pallet to street level where the receiver has no loading dock or forklift. It suits deliveries to private addresses and small businesses. It needs a prior booking, and the weight of a single pallet is limited by the lift’s capacity and manual handling.
When to order a tail lift
- An address without a dock or forklift on the receiver’s side.
- Deliveries to private addresses and small premises.
- A booked date and delivery window arranged in advance.
- A pallet within the lift’s capacity and safe manual handling.
