Common Tail Lift Faults We Repair
Commercial tail lifts are subjected to demanding daily use, harsh weather and heavy loads. Over time, components naturally wear and faults develop.
Our engineers regularly diagnose and repair:
Hydraulic Leaks
Hydraulic leaks are one of the most common causes of poor lifting performance.
We repair:
- Hydraulic hoses
- Cylinders
- Pipework
- Seals
- Valves
- Hydraulic fittings
Repairing leaks early often prevents larger and more expensive failures.
Electrical Faults
Electrical problems can stop a tail lift operating without warning.
Common faults include:
- Wiring faults
- Faulty switches
- Water ingress
- Blown fuses
- Relay failures
- Damaged control boxes
- Battery supply issues
Our engineers use specialist diagnostic equipment to identify faults quickly and restore safe operation.
Platform Damage
Commercial tail lift platforms endure constant loading, unloading and occasional accidental impacts.
We carefully assess structural damage before recommending the safest and most cost-effective repair.
Power Pack Problems
If your tail lift is lifting slowly, struggling under load or has stopped working altogether, the hydraulic power pack may require repair.
We'll inspect the complete hydraulic system before carrying out repairs.
Lift Ram Repairs
Leaking cylinders and worn hydraulic seals commonly affect lifting performance.
Our engineers repair or replace worn components to restore 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
- Electronic control units
