Common Tail Lift Faults We Repair
Tail lifts operate in demanding environments and are exposed to heavy daily use, harsh weather and constant loading cycles. Over time, components naturally wear or become damaged.
Hydraulic Leaks
Hydraulic oil leaks can reduce lifting performance, contaminate components and eventually prevent safe operation. We identify leaking hoses, cylinders, seals and pipework before carrying out the appropriate repairs.
Electrical Faults
Electrical issues are among the most common causes of tail lift breakdowns.
These may include:
- Non-responsive controls
- Blown fuses
- Faulty wiring
- Water ingress
- Damaged switches
- Battery supply problems
- Faulty relays
Using specialist diagnostic equipment, we quickly identify electrical faults to minimise downtime.
Platform Damage
Accidental impacts, overloaded lifts and daily wear can damage platforms, hinges and structural components.
We assess damage carefully before recommending the safest repair solution.
Power Pack Problems
If your tail lift lifts slowly, struggles under load or stops working altogether, the hydraulic power pack may require repair or replacement.
Lift Ram Repairs
Damaged or leaking hydraulic cylinders can affect lifting performance and create safety concerns.
Our engineers inspect cylinders, seals and associated hydraulic components to restore safe operation.
Control System Faults
Modern tail lifts rely on increasingly sophisticated electrical control systems.
Faults involving handheld controls, foot switches, safety interlocks and control units can often be diagnosed quickly by our experienced engineers.
