The history of the tail lift
Transportation underwent a revolution in the period 1950 to 1970. Transport by sailing ship and steam locomotive disappeared. The ocean liner was overtaken by the aeroplane, and cargo transport by sea grew enormously. It was the automobile, however, that truly changed things: the passenger car led to a mobility explosion, and the truck was barely able to keep up with the exponential industrialization.
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.
Drive with a hydraulic motor
The biggest advantage of drive with a hydraulic motor is the direct power transfer at the two mounting plates, resulting in smooth, controlled movement, which is something that drive with a hydraulic cylinder cannot provide.
Safety
In 1995 CE regulations were established for the manufacture of tail lifts. CE stands for 'Conformité Européenne' and is a conformity marking. The label indicates that the manufacturer or importer declares that the products which carry the label meet the requirements in European directives (EC directives) that apply to these products.
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.
AMA
AMA was founded by Mr Staartman in the Netherlands in 1981. Staartman moved the production of the AMA tail lift to Poland.
Anteo
Anteo was founded in 1969. In the beginning Anteo produced hydraulic cylinders to customer specifications.

Scanlift
Scanlift is a Swedish product sold by scanlift/KOS in the Dutch market. These tail lifts were widely used by Dutch postal service. Scanlift was taken over by Zepro tail lifts a few years ago and is still a big brand in the post and package sector.
Teha
Teha was established in Düsseldorf, Germany in the middle of the last century. In the 1980s Teha developed the first tail lift driven by an electric motor.
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.
