Cylinder
Drive with a hydraulic cylinder
The double-acting cylinder retracts and extends the tail lift. The stroke of this cylinder corresponds to the slide-under length. The downside of this is that the cylinder is mounted far back under the cargo body, often in a hard-to-reach area above the axles.
Speed control for opening and lowering
The main function of the lowering brake valve (brake valve) is to maintain a safe speed during lowering and closing of the tail lift. The maximum lowering speed is 0.15 m/s and the maximum opening speed is 4 degrees/second.

AMA was founded by Mr Staartman in the Netherlands in 1981. Staartman moved the production of the AMA tail lift to Poland.
