TAIL LIFT SERVICING & LOLER TESTING

AHCraft provides dedicated tail lift servicing, installation, and testing for commercial vehicles across the UK, supporting 3.5T Luton vans, 7.5T rigid trucks, and heavy commercial HGVs. Reliable tail lift performance is essential for maintaining safe loading workflows and ensuring continuous compliance with UK health and safety regulations. Operating from our Bradford workshop, our qualified technicians carry out end-to-end installations, routine mechanical and electrical maintenance, emergency repairs, and mandatory statutory inspections to keep your fleet safe, operational, and fully compliant.

Full Installation & Electrical Wiring

We carry out complete tail lift installations tailored to your specific vehicle chassis and body configuration. From column lifts and tuckaways to cantilever platforms, our team manages the entire process from structural subframe mounting to comprehensive electrical wiring and control integration. Every system is installed with precision routing, proper fuse protection, and heavy-duty battery connections to deliver reliable lifting power and smooth daily operation under rigorous commercial use.

Comprehensive Maintenance & Mechanical Repairs

Unplanned tail lift breakdowns halt delivery runs and compromise workplace safety. AHCraft delivers proactive servicing and reactive mechanical repairs to address worn hydraulic cylinders, ruptured hoses, degraded power packs, failing solenoids, and fatigued torsion springs. We also provide specialist roller test maintenance, thoroughly checking guidance tracks, platform rollers, and mechanical stops to prevent binding, reduce wear, and maintain seamless opening and closing cycles.

Statutory Testing & Workplace Safety Compliance

Under UK workplace legislation, commercial tail lifts must undergo regular statutory inspections, weight testing, and certification under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER). We conduct thorough examinations and load tests to verify structural integrity, hydraulic pressure stability, and emergency stop functionality. Every successful inspection is backed by detailed documentation and compliance records to protect your business during fleet audits.
