Common Tail Lift Faults We Repair

Commercial tail lifts work in demanding conditions every day, making wear and tear inevitable. Our engineers regularly diagnose and repair a wide range of hydraulic, electrical and mechanical faults.

Hydraulic Leaks

Hydraulic leaks can reduce lifting performance and eventually prevent your tail lift from operating safely.



We repair:


  • Hydraulic hoses
  • Cylinders
  • Pipework
  • Seals
  • Valves
  • Hydraulic fittings


Early intervention often prevents larger, more expensive repairs.


Electrical Faults

Electrical issues are among the most common causes of unexpected tail lift breakdowns.


We regularly diagnose:


  • Wiring faults
  • Damaged switches
  • Water ingress
  • Blown fuses
  • Faulty relays
  • Control box failures
  • Battery supply issues


Our diagnostic equipment allows us to identify faults quickly and restore reliable operation.


Platform Damage

Platforms are exposed to heavy loading, accidental impacts and continuous commercial use.


We carefully assess structural damage before recommending the safest and most cost-effective repair.

Power Pack Problems

If your tail lift lifts slowly, loses lifting power or stops operating altogether, the hydraulic power pack may be the cause.


Our engineers inspect the complete hydraulic system before carrying out repairs.

Lift Ram Repairs

Damaged hydraulic cylinders and worn seals commonly lead to oil leaks and poor lifting performance.



We repair or replace worn components to restore safe, reliable operation.

Control System Faults

Modern tail lifts rely on electronic safety systems to protect operators.


We diagnose faults involving:


  • Hand controls
  • Foot switches
  • Safety interlocks
  • Control units
  • Emergency stop systems
