Central-Axle Drawbar Trailer Tail Lift: Effortless Loading and Unloading, No Uncoupling Required

Description Central-Axle Drawbar Trailer Tail Lift: Effortless Loading and Unloading, No Uncoupling Required The GE-LV.40 is designed for trucks with a central-axle drawbar trailer, whereby the drawbar coupling is mounted deep under the truck chassis. It is equipped with an articulated bumper bar, that can be lowered to legal bumper height when the truck drives solo and can be lifted out of the way when the trailer is attached. The GE-LV allows the operator to load and unload the truck without uncoupling the trailer. In standard configuration, the bumper bar is lifted and lowered manually, but hydraulic operation is available as an option [OAH041]. Ideal tail lift for trucks with a trailer coupling: the bumper bar can be adapted without effort from a “solo” to a “combi” position (and vice versa) Loading and unloading of the truck is possible without uncoupling the trailer Various solutions in the function of the coupling position below the chassis Wedged platform. Level ride with an automatic tilt at ground level. Adjustable platform orientation. Lift frame in hot-dip zinc plated or “galvanised” finish. Best possible protection against corrosion [OAT104]. Characteristics: PLATFORM Robust heavy-duty steel platform, or weight-saving aluminium platform Synthetic rollers for the contact between the platform and the ground FUNCTIONAL & MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS Lift frame adapted for mounting above/behind the trailer coupling on the truck chassis, with a height adjustable bumper bar Conical / wedge platform. Level ride with an automatic tilt at ground level Heavy duty lift frame, suitable for high capacities and long platforms Platform tilt adjustable at any position from the exterior controls HYDRAULIC CHARACTERISTICS 2 lift cylinders for maximum platform stability 2 tilt cylinders with spring assisted platform opening Tilt cylinders with bespoke extensions to maximize the height of the rear cross member at extra mounting heights Electrical safety valves on all cylinders Manual emergency operation on all electro valves Cylinder piston rods in hard-chromed stainless steel Cylinders equipped with rubber gaitors and lubrication Pump unit 12V or 24V DC, accessible on 5 sides for easy maintenance ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS Control box with battery disconnect switch, joystick control, and change-over switch [OAE030.BT.0] Electrical controls without sensitive electronic components in basic configuration Safe exterior controls with compulsory 2-hand operation Electric motor with thermal cut-out fuse FITTING Bolt-on mounting plates for quick and easy fitting [OAM010] FINISH & MAINTENANCE Low-maintenance bearings in all articulation points, plus grease nipples Lift frame in hot-dip zinc plated or “galvanised” finish. Best possible protection against corrosion [OAT104]. Alu platform or platform sections in natural finish Steel platforms to 2000 mm shotblasted and KTL epoxy primed, or in zinc primer at the discretion of Gilani Engineering. Steel platforms > 2000 mm in zinc primer.
