FAQ

1、 Definition and core functions

Vehicle Tail Lift, also known as a vehicle mounted lifting platform, is a hydraulic lifting equipment installed at the rear of a truck. Using the on-board battery as the power source, the hydraulic device is driven by the electronic control system to achieve rapid transfer of goods between the ground and the carriage. As a benchmark product in the industry, Dilzu tail lift can bear a maximum load of 3 tons, support extreme environmental operations from -30 ℃ to 80 ℃, and is equipped with an IP67 waterproof and dustproof system.

3、 Material Revolution and Industry Trends

The current mainstream market is divided into two categories:

Steel tail plate: affordable price (10000-15000 yuan), strong bearing capacity (3 tons+), suitable for building materials transportation

Aluminum alloy tail lift: Lightweight design (reducing self weight by 40%),Dilzu tail lift and other products undergo anodizing treatment on the surface, extending service life by 60%. The industry is developing towards intelligence, and Dilzu tail lift has launched an APP remote control system to monitor hydraulic data and equipment health status in real time.

In the current booming development of the logistics and transportation industry, the tail lift, as a key equipment to improve loading and unloading efficiency and reduce labor costs, is receiving increasing attention from practitioners.

Now, in order to give back to our customers, Dilzu Machinery has launched a limited time special offer for tail plate installation. Its Dilzu tail lift has 30+models to choose from, and also includes debugging and warranty, which is undoubtedly a blessing for logistics practitioners.

Dingliangzhu Machinery has been deeply involved in the field of tail lifts for many years, accumulating rich experience and technology. The 30+models of roof beams, pillars, and tail lifts launched this time cover different specifications, materials, and functions, which can meet the needs of various vehicle models and usage scenarios. Whether it’s small vans used for urban delivery, large trucks for long-distance transportation, or special vehicles performing special tasks, suitable tail lifts  can be found here.

For urban delivery, time is money. Many express delivery and food delivery vehicles need to complete a large number of loading and unloading tasks in a short period of time. The small and lightweight model of Dilzu tail lift is very suitable for this type of scenario. For example, in some community group buying delivery vehicles, with the use of Dilzu tail lift, drivers can easily unload goods from the vehicle without the need for manual handling. The loading and unloading work that originally took two people half an hour to complete can now be done by one person in ten minutes, greatly improving delivery efficiency and allowing goods to be delivered to customers faster.

In the field of long-distance freight transportation, the high-capacity models of Dilzu tail lift play an important role. Like some trucks transporting large machinery, building materials, and other heavy objects, the top beams, columns, and tail plates can stably and safely load and unload goods onto the truck. There was once a truck driver who transported steel. Before installing the  tail lift, he had to ask multiple workers to help with each loading and unloading of steel, which was not only time-consuming and laborious, but also posed certain safety hazards. After installing the top beam column tail plate, he can easily operate it alone, and the tail plate has a strong load-bearing capacity, so there is no need to worry about accidents during the loading and unloading process of goods.

In addition to a wide range of model options, Dilzu tail lift Machinery also provides services including debugging and warranty. A professional installation team will conduct comprehensive debugging after the installation of the  tail lift to ensure the normal operation of all functions of the  tail lift . They will precisely adjust the   tail lift  according to the specific situation and usage needs of the vehicle, ensuring that the   tail lift  matches the vehicle perfectly. At the same time, during the warranty period, if there are any quality problems with the  tail lift , Dilzu tail lift machinery will provide timely repair services, so that customers have no worries.

The limited time special offer for the installation of the  tail lift is a great gift that Dilzu Machinery has sent to our customers. If you are troubled by the loading and unloading of goods, you may seize this opportunity to choose Dilzu tail lift. 30+models to choose from, there is always one that suits you; Package debugging and warranty, so you can use it with peace of mind. I believe that the top pillar and  tail lift  will become your capable assistant in logistics transportation, helping your career to take it to the next level.

What is a Car Tail Lift? Key Applications and Industry Advancements

A car tail lift, also known as a vehicle-mounted hydraulic liftgate or truck tail lift, is an electromechanical device installed at the rear of trucks, vans, or specialized vehicles to streamline cargo loading/unloading processes. Powered by the vehicle’s battery, it uses hydraulic or electric systems to create a movable platform that bridges the gap between the ground and the cargo area, minimizing manual labor and optimizing logistics efficiency.
