Tail lifts or back lifts play a significant role in the commercial transportation world for loading and unloading goods. This equipment, installed at the rear of truck cargo compartments, is used in various businesses to handle loads such as pallets, trolleys, and more.

Tail lifts are commonly used in various industries such as logistics, retail, freight transport services, and are particularly effective for delivering goods to destinations where suitable loading conditions are not available or manual loading is not possible.

This equipment consists of a metal platform mounted on a hydraulic mechanism and an electro-hydraulic power unit that draws power from the vehicle’s electricity. It is operated by an operator to lift and lower goods for loading and unloading into the truck’s cargo compartment.

Tail lifts are categorized into various types with different capacities to handle a wide range of goods. Their advantages include enhancing the safety and security of both the operator and the cargo during loading and unloading, increasing speed, reducing loading and unloading time, and lowering transportation costs.
