Tail lift servicing
Whether you’re a large fleet operator or a private individual, we offer servicing for both commercial and passenger tail lifts. Services are completed by our engineers, who specialise in servicing all makes of tail lifts and mobility lifts, for all tail lift manufacturers and vehicle models. We recommend that tail lifts are serviced every six months to ensure that they operate safely and efficiently at all times.
Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) Weight Testing
Safe and successful lifting operations largely depend on the continued safety of the lifting equipment and accessories being used.
All lifting equipment, including tail lifts, must be thoroughly examined in accordance with the latest LOLER guidelines, which are designed to ensure all lifting equipment is:
- Fit for purpose
- Appropriately maintained
- Marked in order to minimise risk
Failure to comply with the LOLER guidelines can result in significant or even fatal injuries occurring.
Our team of experienced engineers can help ensure your tail lifts and accessories comply with the latest guidelines by:
- Regularly conducting thorough tail lift inspections in line with the latest stipulations
- Providing weight testing checks and services
- Carrying out winch testing
