Mobile Van Tail Lift Repairs, Wherever the Van Stops
A van tail lift that won't lift is a round that stops. Parcels stay on board, drops get missed, and a multi-drop driver loses the rest of the day. Our mobile tail lift engineers exist to get that lift moving again on-site — not back at a workshop three days later.
When you call, our 24/7 desk takes the make of tail lift and the symptom, geolocates the van against the live engineer map, and rolls the nearest mobile tail lift engineer carrying the common hydraulic, electrical and ram parts. Most van tail lift repairs near me are completed at the roadside in a single visit.
We work on every major van tail lift make — Dhollandia, Del, Ratcliff Palfinger, Anteo, Zepro and Bar Cargolift — across column lifts, cantilever and tuckaway (under-floor) types fitted to Luton box vans, panel vans and 3.5t chassis-cab conversions.
Van tail lift faults we fix on-site
- Tail lift won't lift — failed pump motor, blown solenoid, low or contaminated hydraulic fluid, seized ram

- Platform won't fold or tilt — tilt ram, torsion-spring and linkage faults

Van Tail Lift Repairs — FAQs
My van tail lift won't lift — can you fix it at the roadside?
Usually, yes. The most common "won't lift" causes — pump motor, solenoid, hydraulic fluid level and ram seals — are all carried on the van and repaired on-site. The dispatcher takes the make and symptom so the engineer arrives with the right parts.
Which van tail lift makes do you repair?
All the major makes: Dhollandia, Del, Ratcliff Palfinger, Anteo, Zepro and Bar Cargolift, across column, cantilever and tuckaway types.
How quickly can a mobile tail lift engineer reach me?
Average UK-wide response is 60–90 minutes. The dispatcher gives a live ETA before the engineer rolls, governed by distance to the nearest available engineer.
Do you carry out LOLER inspections on van tail lifts?
Yes. As lifting equipment, a tail lift needs a thorough LOLER examination at least every six months. We can inspect, certificate and repair in the same visit — see our tail lift services page.
Do I need a contract or account?
No — cash and card jobs are welcome with a fixed quote up front. Fleets get account pricing and the live dashboard for visibility across every van.
