Innovation Meets Experience

Discover the key features that make PALFINGER Tail Lifts stand out – from safety features to intelligent configuration tools.

Platform Flexibility through In-House Production

Our aluminium platforms are manufactured in-house at our Ganderkesee site using state-of-the-art technology and the highest precision. This not only ensures consistently high quality but, above all, maximum flexibility for your specific requirements. Whether in size, surface finish, or platform options – each platform is individually tailored to its intended use, contributing to more efficient workflows and greater operational reliability. For you, this means a durable, robust platform that perfectly matches your vehicle and your daily business.

PALFINGER

Customisable Software for Maximum Efficiency

Every operation is different – and so is every tail lift. With our configurable software solutions, we adapt each tail lift precisely to your requirements. Whether it’s Smooth Tilting for gentle handling, SelfLock for secure loading, EasyMove for efficient manoeuvring, or QuickDown for time-saving operation – every function is designed to make your work safer, faster, and more intuitive. In addition, all software features can be customised and combined individually – so your tail lift operates exactly the way your business needs it to.

More Safety. More Confidence.

Safety is non-negotiable. With SafeVis and SafeClose, PALFINGER Tail Lifts takes operational safety to the next level. SafeVis increases visibility even in poor weather or darkness through glare-free LED light strips and illuminated roll stops, ensuring that the platform and its edges remain clearly visible at all times. SafeClose, integrated into the sealing system, detects obstacles between the platform and the vehicle body, automatically stopping movement to prevent accidents and damage. Together, these systems protect operators, vehicles, and goods – creating a safer, more reliable working environment for every situation.
