HACO TAIL LIFT PARTS
Haco Tail Lift Parts is the European market leader in replacement parts for all brands of tail lifts.
Basic constructions of the tail lift
Tail lifts are divided into two types of lift constructions: The first is the parallel arm lift construction, where the mechanics of the tail lift are based on the principle of the parallelogram and raising and lowering are achieved entirely hydraulically.
2-hand operation 2-foot operation
Tail lifts must be equipped with a two-hand safety control. This makes it necessary for the driver to use both hands or feet when operating the tail lift.
Control box
The control box is permanently mounted on the inside of the cargo body. This only has the drop and raise function, just like the manual controller. To ensure that the upper or lower limbs or the head cannot become trapped between the platform and the rear frame of the truck the inside control can only be operated from inside the cargo body. The inside control is often connected to the safety switch in the control box so that the outside control is disabled when the inside control is operated.
Manual control or remote control
The manual control (hand operated) has the same function as the foot control. Manual controls are available in two- and three-button versions. The manual control is used for raising and lowering. The third button, often in the middle, serves as a safety.

LUBRICATION PLAN
To keep the tail lift (the platform) in peak operating condition it is important to lubricate it regularly. A tail lift (platform) that is properly lubricated will move with minimal friction. Here you will find the checklist for lubricating the tail lift.
WEEKLY-, MINOR- AND MAJOR SERVICE
It is important to check the tail lift regularly. We recommend performing the following three checks:
- Weekly maintenance
- Small service
- Major service
Here you can read exactly what needs to be done each check.
