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.
