Valve
Angle adjustment, tilt up and tilt down
For tail lifts there are three different ways to adjust the platform angle.
Hose break protection
Selenoid valves control the pressure, volume flow or flow direction of hydraulic fluids in the cylinder. Hose burst protection valves are screwed into a manifold block or directly into lift cylinders and tilt cylinders. These hose burst protection valves serve as a sort of hydraulic 'gate' that closes off all the cylinders until the valves are operated by a push button.
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.
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.

Het van oorsprong Belgische bedrijf is opgekocht door MBB-Palfinger.
Mbb-Palfinger
In 1932 Richard Palfinger started a metalworking company that mainly produced and repaired agricultural vehicles and trailers.
Hydraulics
Hydraulics is a drive technology that uses fluid under pressure. This fluid is usually oil.
Electric drive
An electric drive converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. This makes it possible to put parts of machines in motion. The big advantage of electric motors is that they can be connected to mains power. In addition, electrically powered machines can be fitted with a battery. Tail lifts make use of an electric motor to power the hydraulic pump.
