Tail Lifts Built to Handle 500 kg to 4,000 kg — and Everything in Between

Palfinger tail lifts are designed to improve safety, efficiency, and productivity when loading and unloading cargo. Whether you’re delivering heavy goods to urban storefronts or operating in remote, rugged conditions, there’s a Palfinger tail lift built to handle the job. Palfinger’s tail lift range is suitable for a wide variety of vehicles and industries, including:

  • Vans – Lightweight and compact van tail lifts offer optimal lifting power without compromising cargo space, making them ideal for courier, parcel, and delivery services.
  • Utes – Our UTE tail lifts are engineered for tradespeople, technicians, and service vehicles that need reliable lifting assistance in tight or uneven spaces.
  • Light trucks – Tail lifts for small and medium-duty trucks offer flexible configurations for urban delivery fleets, grocery logistics, and general freight.
  • Heavy trucks – For larger payloads and high-volume operations, our heavy-duty tail lifts are built for durability and performance in demanding conditions.

Palfinger Tail Lift Range

We offer a wide selection of models to suit different load capacities and installation needs, including:

  • Cantilever tail lifts – A robust and versatile solution mounted to the vehicle chassis, ideal for stable lifting with smooth, controlled platform movement.
  • Retractable tail lifts – Designed to slide under the chassis when not in use, these are perfect for vehicles needing full access to the rear without obstruction.
  • Foldable tail lifts – Compact and space-saving, foldable tail lifts are a great fit for vehicles with limited mounting space or specific platform storage requirements.
  • Vertical tail lifts – Featuring a straight up-and-down lifting motion, these are commonly used on box trucks or vehicles transporting roll cages and trolleys.
