Prepare Your Tail Lift for Winter
Is your tail lift ready to face the colder months ahead? As temperatures drop, hydraulic oil thickens, metal contracts, and electrical systems are put to the test. Taking a few simple steps now can prevent costly breakdowns later.
Whatever the make or model, our expert team can help you get winter-ready.
Check Your Oil
Cold weather can take its toll on hydraulic systems. Old or incorrect oil can lead to sluggish movement or pump damage. Our engineers can check the condition, top up or replace your fluid with winter-grade oil to keep everything running smoothly.
Inspect Your Electrics
Moisture, salt and frost can all cause corrosion in your electrical system. We’ll check your wiring, switches and connectors to make sure your tail lift stays reliable, even on the coldest mornings.
Assess Torsion Bars
Extreme temperatures can weaken metal over time. Our specialists will inspect your torsion bars for signs of stress or wear to help you avoid unexpected failure during heavy use.
Clean and Check Flags & Lights
With darker days ahead, visibility is vital. We’ll make sure your flags and lights are clean, undamaged and clearly visible so your vehicle stays safe and compliant on the road.
Stay on Top of Your Service History
It’s a legal requirement to keep your tail lift servicing up to date. If you’re unsure when your next inspection is due, we can check your records and book you in to ensure full compliance and peace of mind.
