6 DESCRIPTION AND TAIL LIFT TERMINOLOGY

6.1 GENERAL

DHOLLANDIA tail lifts are developed and manufactured using state-of-the-art technology, high quality materials and components and highly skilled workmanship. They comply with the European CE safety regulations mentioned in the Declaration of Conformity issued with each lift (unless agreed otherwise for tail lifts exported outside the CE region).

The DH-VO.07.K1, DH-VO.10.K1, DH-VO.15.K1, DH-VO.20.K9 and DH-VH.15.H1 comprise of a range of column lifts, designed for a wide variety of trucks, trailers and semi-trailers, and are available with lift capacities ranging from 500 to 2000 kg.

The product names DH-VO* and DH-VH* stand for generic, general purpose lifts. If complemented by a G, the tail lifts DH-VOG* and DH-VHG* refer to special executions adapted to the distribution of gas bottles

In its travel position, the platform of the column tail lift is stowed vertically behind the vehicle body. Before use, the platform is lowered approx. 15 cm, then tilted open 90 degrees from the vertical travel position, to a horizontal work position.

Depending on tail lift model and options chosen, the opening and closing of the platform can be manual, or driven by 1 or 2 hydraulic tilt cylinders. See table below:

Type Lift capacity Manual closure Hydraulic closure 0-90 OVH004

Hydraulic closure with adjustable platform orientation OVH011

DH-VO.07.K1 500 750 kg standard not available not available

DH-VO.10.K1 750 1000 kg standard optional not available

DH-VO.15.K1 1000 1500 kg standard optional optional

DH-VO.20.K9 1500 2000kg standard optional optional

DH-VH.15.H1 1000 - 1500 kg standard optional optional

Every DHOLLANDIA tail lift is identified by and labelled with a

unique 8-digit serial number (with or without a space

between the first and last 4 digits). Use this number for any

inquiry on a particular tail lift, or when ordering replacement

parts.

In addition to the tail lift type and serial number, the various

serial number labels provide additional information, such as:

the maximum rated lift capacity and load chart, the bumper

certification number, the date of manufacture, etc...

These labels are usually affixed to the vehicle body and

various tail lift components, and can be found in following

locations (the yellow arrows point to the serial numbers):

Affixed to the side of the vehicle body, or on the platform

surface, or a retention ramp at the outboard platform edge, are available as an option.

2 Roll stops: usually 2 load restraint flaps mounted in or just in front of the fixed leading edge of the platform. Depending on

options chosen, the roll stops feature a manual or an automatic operation, and are actuated by springs.

3 Rear or outboard retention ramps: 1 full-width or 2 partial width load restraints ramps mounted at the outboard platform edge.

In travel position, the ramps lie folded back on the platform surface. When travelling up and down, the ramps can be raised and

blocked in vertical position to prevent rolling cargo on the platform from falling off. At the ground, the ramps can be deployed

as an access ramp to drive cargo on and off the platform.

4 Side retention ramps: 2 load restraints ramps mounted at the side edges of the platform. In travel position, the ramps lie folded

back on the platform surface. When travelling up and down, the ramps can be raised and blocked in vertical position to prevent

rolling cargo on the platform from falling off. At the ground, the ramps can be deployed as an access ramp to drive cargo on

and off the platform.

6.2 SAFETY DEVICES

DHOLLANDIA tail lifts are equipped with multiple safety devices in order to ensure that goods can be loaded and unloaded with

maximum safety for the operator, any incidental bystanders, and the load itself. The following safety devices are incorporated or

recommended on most tail lifts:

Electrical safety valves mounted on all cylinders [standard]. The safety valves lock the oil inside the hydraulic cylinders as

long as they are not energized via the electrical controls. The purpose is to secure the platform in its travel position while driving,

or in any other fixed position, in case of accidental failure of a hydraulic pipe (as soon as the electrical controls are released).

DHOLLANDIA safety valves are equipped with a manual emergency control, allowing the operator or repair agent to open the

valve manually in case of electrical failure (see MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR MANUAL).

Mechanical platform lock(s) [depending on modelsee 6.1 on tail lift terminology]. DHOLLANDIA column lifts are equipped

with mechanical stow locks and platform locks, to secure the platform in its travel position in case of accidental loss of hydraulic

pressure.

Pressure relief valve [standard]. Safety device integrated into the pump unit, enabling the manufacturer and the installer of the

tail lift to limit the real lift capacity to the maximum rated capacity of the tail lift sold, and to protect it against overload while

LIFTING.

Pressure compensated flow valves [standard]. Flow valves are integrated in the hydraulic circuits to ensure the platform lowers

at a safe speed, both when empty as when fully loaded.

Marking of the centre point of maximum load [standard]. Tail lifts are not designed to LIFT and LOWER weights corresponding

to their maximum rated capacity over the entire surface of the platform. The maximum rated capacity is only valid at a specified

distance or centre point of maximum load behind the vehicle body. Behind that point marked on the platform, the maximum safe

working load diminishes according to the load diagrams supplied with the tail lift. See also section 8 from page 37 onwards on

load charts and correct loading procedures.

Load safety device (LSD) [standard on chain lifts, not used on fully hydraulic lifts]. Both lift runners are equipped with an LSD or

chain rupture protection device. In the unlikely incident of a chain breaking, the LSD will jam the lift runner in the lift column, keep

the platform relatively stable, and prevent it from dropping more than 10 cm from its position at the time of the failure.

2-hand external control box [optional]. It is recommended that all column lifts be ordered and operated with a 2-hand external

control box, mounted in a fixed position at the side of the vehicle body. This means that all functions are actuated by means of a

control switch and a safety switch. The compulsory use of the 2 hands to actuate the various lift functions, protects the operator

from crushing his head, limbs or upper body between the LIFTING or CLOSING platform and the rear frame of the vehicle body.

WARNING

ALWAYS stand with both feet on the ground on a free-standing, safe operator position at the side of the

body when operating the external control box (see also 7.4 from page 28 onwards). NEVER operate the

external control box from an elevated position, such as the platform or a loading dock.

NEVER reach over or through the platform and the moving parts of the tail lift while trying to operate the

lift. ALWAYS keep your head, limbs and body clear of the moving platform and other pinch points.

Fuses [standard]. A 15A fuse for the electrical control circuit comes mounted in the pump unit and in the main external control

box (for most types). A 150 250A fuse for the electrical main battery circuit is supplied by the truck manufacturer or by

DHOLLANDIA. Both fuses protect the electrical circuits against short-circuits and amperage peaks.

20

DHOLLANDIA

Tail lift on/off switch [min. 1 compulsory]. Depending on configuration, the electrical power to the tail lift is switched on / off by

means of:

1. A cabin switch (provided by the truck manufacturer or DHOLLANDIA [option OAE503.1]). This switch enables the operator

to switch the control power to the main external control box on / off. If equipped with a cabin switch [option OAE503.2] and a

position sensor [option OAE502], the tail lift can also be set-up to provide a signal if the platform is stowed in its travel position,

or left open.

2. A main battery disconnect switch integrated in the external control box [optional]. This switch enables the operator to switch

the main battery power to the tail lift on / off. If available, the operator MUST switch off the main battery disconnect switch

after each use of the tail lift.

3. A combination of both.

Protection of toes and feet against crushing and sheering [standard]. The cylinder beam of the column lifts type DH-VOK1

is designed with a rear sloping edge conform EN1756-1 annex B.2.3.1 Despite this design, the operator must observe following

precautions:

WARNING

If the operator on the platform stands to close to the inboard platform edge, protruding toes might be

crushed or sheared between the rising platform and the cylinder beam or vehicle floor. This can cause

serious bodily injury.

Therefore, when operating the tail lift from a position on the platform, ALWAYS stand at a safe distance of

min. 25 cm from the inboard platform edge.

Roll stops [optional]. If a platform is aimed at LIFTING and LOWERING loads that cannot be braked or secured by their design

or their method of transportation, the platform MUST be equipped with roll stops that prevent the load from accidentally rolling off

the platform and hitting the operator or any bystanders. DHOLLANDIA offers a variety of roll stops that can be fitted near the

outboard platform edge, or at intermediate distances. [see also 9.8 from page 60 onwards].

Visibility of the deployed platform [min. 1 compulsory]. Any platform protruding beyond the extremities of the vehicle, MUST be

clearly visible from all approachable sides in daylight and at night. Check any applicable national or local regulations, as these can

be very strict on the application, size and type of means used. The visibility of the platform can be optimized by:

1. Reflective marking tape applied to the sides of the platform [standard applied during installation]

2. Platform flags [option OAT020 023], mounted to the underside of the platform, near the outboard platform edge

3. Bi-directional flashing platform lights [option OVE201.C], mounted on the platform surface, near the outboard platform edge

4. Warning cones (2 or 4) [widely available] placed around the work area of the platform

5. A combination of 2 or more of the above. The various means above have variable efficiency depending on the direction of

approach and the light conditions (e.g. bright sunlight versus night darkness). DHOLLANDIA strongly recommends a

combination of 2 or 3 means to cover all circumstances

Guard rails [optional]. Guard rails MUST be fitted in all applications where a significant risk exists that the operator could fall off the

platform and suffer bodily injury. They are compulsory above 2m lifting height.

Guard rails may be purchased along with your tail lift at the initial order, or may be purchased and retrofitted to your tail lift later. They

are available in a wide range of different executions to suit the particular needs of many applications. Contact your national

DHOLLANDIA dealer for further information. See page 3 for contact info.

Decals [standard]. The tail lifts are supplied with a number of operation decals, load diagrams and safety decals, most of them to be

applied to the vehicle body during installation. These decals must always be kept clean and legible and replaced whenever required.

WARNING

When loading or unloading at a loading dock, make sure to not

hit the wall with the body / tail lift. Failure to abide by these

instructions can result in material damage, serious bodily injury

or death to the operator or bystanders.

Prior to releasing the mechanical platform lock (if so equipped)

and using the tail lift, check if the tail lift can be used safely. Take

precautions to ensure your own safety, and the safety of

bystanders or other parties in traffic. Clear the working area of

any objects that could potentially impede movement of the tail lift.

Failure to abide by these instructions can result in serious bodily

injury or death to the operator or bystanders.

Inspect the tail lift prior to each use. If any unsafe condition exists

or unusual noises or movements are noticed, DO NOT use the tail lift and contact an authorized DHOLLANDIA service agent

for repair. Please see pre-trip inspection procedures under 7.6 on page 34.

Read and comply with all warning decals, pictograms and instructions affixed to the tail lift. Failure to abide by warnings and

instructions may result in serious bodily injury or death.

The tail lift must not be used if the operator is intoxicated, impaired or distracted in any way. NEVER use a phone or mobile

device when operating the tail lift.

The tail lift shall be used by means of original control units only. Operating the tail lift with unauthorized control units will

increase risk of serious bodily injury or death to the operator or any bystanders.

Limit the operation of the tail lift to one single operator. Operation of the tail lift by more than one operator at a time may cause

confusion and increase the risk of serious bodily injury or death.

To prevent people from being hit by the platform, by objects falling off the platform or being caught in pinch points or being

pinched by the moving parts of the tail lift:

Keep visual control over the entire working area of the tail lift and its platform at all times, including the area

DIRECTLY BEHIND and UNDER the platform.

DO NOT allow any other person, to stand in the proximity of the tail lift and its platform. ENSURE AT ALL

TIMES THAT NOBODY STANDS UNDER OR WITHIN REACH OF THE MOVING PLATFORM.

When unloading from the vehicle body to the platform,

ALWAYS push the load out, to prevent the load from hitting

you. NEVER pull the load from the vehicle onto the platform.

Pulling the load from the vehicle can result in a fall from the

platform causing serious injury or death.

If pushed out too far, the load can fall off the platform, and

cause serious bodily injury or death to other people. Deploy

the roll stops before pushing out the load. If not available,

push the load slowly while checking the outboard platform

edges.

24

DHOLLANDIA

WARNING

The load must ALWAYS be secured when raising or

lowering on the tail lift, to prevent it from shifting position

and rolling off the platform edges. Failure to properly

secure the load will increase the risk of serious bodily

injury or death to the operator or any bystanders.

When using a pallet jack, lower and rest the pallet or load

upon the platform surface before operating the tail lift.

For loads on wheels, engage wheel brakes of carts,

trolleys and machinery (if available) before operating the

tail lift.

For loads that could slip, the use of original DHOLLANDIA roll stops or an appropriate alternative securement device (ex.

ratchet straps) is required. The load must not be able to move during movement of the platform. See 9.8 from page 60 onwards

for correct use of original DHOLLANDIA roll stops.

NEVER leave the tail lift unattended in open position. Before leaving the vehicle unattended, close the doors of the vehicle,

stow the platform in its travel position and switch OFF the main battery disconnect switch in the external control box (if so

equipped), or the cab switch. Leaving the tail lift in open position unattended can result in serious bodily injury or death to

unaware bystanders. See 9.5 - 9.7 from page 48 onwards for instructions on properly stowing platform into its travel position.

Unless this instruction could cause other important risks, NEVER move the vehicle with the tail lift in the open position.

ALWAYS close and secure the doors of the vehicle, stow the tail lift in its travel position and switch OFF the main battery

disconnect switch in the external control box (if so equipped), or the cab switch, before moving the vehicle. If so equipped,

close the mechanical platform lock after stowing the platform in its travel position. Failure to properly stow the tail lift in its

travel position prior to moving the vehicle may result in serious bodily injury or death.

Exception: marshalling maneuvers to reverse a vehicle into a loading dock or drive off, are excluded from aforementioned prohibition. Fleet operators MUST execute site-specific risk analysis, and provide instructions to their drivers accordingly. When accepted by your Health & Safety management for specific sites or applications, driving maneuvers with open platform must be supervised by a banksman, or controlled by other means such as a reverse camera and sensor system.

Use of the tail lift near vehicular traffic may result in serious bodily injury or death from being struck by another vehicle. When

operating the tail lift on or near a street or parking lot, be sure to stay clear of vehicular traffic. ALWAYS be sure to clearly

identify to other drivers that the tail lift is in use. DHOLLANDIA recommends use of warning cones to clearly identify to drivers

that the tail lift is being operated. When the tail lift is operated near vehicular traffic, wear working clothes in high-visibility

colours and a retro-reflective safety vest.

DO NOT raise the tail lift with the rear doors partially open. Doing so may damage the doors or the tail lift platform and may

also result in serious bodily injury or death to the operator or any bystanders.

Above all, USE GOOD COMMON SENSE when operating the tail lift. DO NOT operate the tail lift until the contents of this

manual have been read and fully understood. Improper use of the tail lift increases the risk of serious bodily injury or death to

the operator and any bystanders.

NOTICE

The safety instructions in this manual are drawn up with an average, common use of the tail lift in mind.

For specific applications or work conditions, other instructions might be appropriate to reach a higher level of safety. If contra-

indications exist, a formal risk analysis must be performed by the clients health and safety management and safe work

procedures for the drivers and operators must be issued.

platform and ground

1. ALWAYS stay clear of the range of

motion of the platform

26

DHOLLANDIA

WARNING

If the operator on the platform stands

too close to the inboard platform edge,

protruding toes might be crushed or

sheared between the rising platform

and the cylinder beam or vehicle floor.

This can cause serious bodily injury.

Therefore, when operating the tail lift

from a position on the platform,

ALWAYS stand at a safe distance of

min. 25 cm from the inboard platform

edge.

NEVER reach over or through the

platform and the moving parts of the tail

lift while trying to operate the lift.

27

DHOLLANDIA

In case of platforms equipped with manual closure and automatically folding guard rails (sides only), or gas-bottle execution (sides +

rear), make sure you use the grab handle on the guard rail to open and close the platform.

Most column lifts are equipped with a device that

shut closes the platform tight against the lift

columns, after it was tilted in the vertical position

and while it is lifted in its travel position.

Therefore, the operator MUST stand on the side of

the platform and keep head, limbs and upper body

clear of hazardous space between the platform

and the lift columns, while stowing the platform in

its travel position.

WARNING

The operator or other persons approaching too close to these danger zones risk serious bodily injury or death

by pinching, crushing or shearing of limbs, upper body or head. To prevent these hazards:

ALWAYS stand clear of the range of motion of the platform and moving parts of the tail lift;

Keep hands, feet and upper body clear of pinch points and moving parts of the tail lift;

DO NOT allow any other person to stand near the tail lift and its platform.

WARNING

Opening and closing of the platform by holding

the steel members of automatically folding

guard rails can crush the operators hands

between the moving elements of the guard rail.

To avoid bodily injury, always use the grab

handle to manually open or close the platform

and its guard rails, and beware of pinch points

at all times.

DHOLLANDIA

7.4 SAFE OPERATOR POSITION

The instructions on safe operator position aim to enforce that the operator stands in a safe position before and while operating the tail lift, and protect him against the risks of crushing and sheering as described in previous section 7.3.

Main external control box: the zone just in front of the side-mounted, external control box, is the only position from where the operator can safely OPEN and CLOSE the platform. It is also safe to LOWER and LIFT the platform from this position. In case of optional hydraulic closure, the main external control box is equipped with 2-hand operation.

Auxiliary controls: the operator may also LOWER and LIFT the platform through use of the auxiliary controls. The operator must use extreme caution when lowering or lifting the platform with the auxiliary controls and must ensure it is done from a safe position. Use of auxiliary controls from an improper position greatly increases the operator's risk of crushing or shearing of toes, limbs, head, and upper body as well as death.

Handheld auxiliary controls with a spiral cable should only be used under the following conditions (1):

(1) Remark: The CE standard EN1756-1 suggests a number of other, less usual solutions providing sufficient protection against crushing and

sheering of the toes and feet, such as a hinged foot protector or cut-out switch. Consult the latest edition of DHOLLANDIAs fitting instructions FIT-

ELEC-OPTION or contact your national DHOLLANDIA dealer for more information. See page 3 for contact info.

from a safe operator position that is a minimum 40 x 40 cm square,

clearly and permanently marked at a minimum of 25 cm from the

hazard zone between the platform and the rear of the vehicle floor

(see 3 in 7.3). A fixed internal control should NEVER be used from a

position on the platform.

The marked operator positions on the platform must be kept clear at

all times. It is prohibited to place a load on these dedicated areas.

In case of a main external control box with 2-hand operation, the power

to any of the auxiliary controls must be connected to and dependent

upon the safety switch in the main external control box. Activation of

the auxiliary controls must deactivate the functions on the external

control box.

It is prohibited to bypass or modify any of the safety features of the tail lift. If connection of the power to the external control box

does not deactivate the auxiliary controls, stop using the tail lift, and contact an authorized DHOLLANDIA agent to rectify.

WARNING

If not standing solidly, an operator on

the platform risks serious injury or

death by falling off.

While riding on the platform, ALWAYS

make sure your footing is solid, and

ALWAYS maintain 2 feet solidly on the

platform surface.

When reaching out your hand for a 3rd point

of contact, ALWAYS stay clear of the open

lift columns and the moving lift runner,

chains, and pulleys.

Note: these 3 points of contact usually include the 2 feet

positioned solidly on the platform, and a handgrip mounted

to the rear frame of the vehicle body.

WARNING

When standing in front or behind the load, the operator risks being pushed off the platform, or being crushed between the moving

load and the rear frame of the vehicle body, resulting in serious bodily injury or death.

To prevent this hazard, ALWAYS stand on the side of the load, NEVER in front or behind.

7.5 INSTRUCTIONS FOR WORKING AT LOADING DOCKS

There are 3 main ways of handling a column lift at the loading docks. Restrictions and precautions do apply. See below.

1. When the intention is to dock with the platform lowered below the vehicle floor level, DO NOT lower the platform until the vehicle is standing on flat even ground. ALWAYS reverse slowly, and make sure you maintain sufficient ground clearance between the lowest part of the tail lift and the ground. Take into account variations in the suspension and vehicle height.

NOTICE

When reversing a vehicle with column lift into a loading dock, ALWAYS make sure there is sufficient ground clearance between

the lowest part of the tail lift and the ground.

ALWAYS reverse slowly, and avoid hard dock impact on the tail lift.

Reversing with insufficient ground clearance, or with too hard dock impact may result in severe damage to the tail lift.

WARNING

Improper use of the tail lift may result in damage, premature wear or failure of the tail lift, and will increase the risk of serious

injury or death to the operator and other persons nearby.

In order to maximize the durability, ensure long-term reliability of the tail lift, and protect operators and bystanders from serious

bodily injury or death, the operator must comply with the loading instructions and safe working procedures below.

Min. 15 cm

1. Platform lowered below the

vehicle floor level. All cargo is

loaded / unloaded over a dock-

plate that links the dock and the

vehicle floor.

2. Platform is used as a loading

platform; or as a bridge plate (in case of

optional tilt cylinders).

3. Platform is hidden in a pocket or

briefcase under the loading dock. All

cargo is loaded / unloaded over a dock-

plate that links the dock and the vehicle

floor.

DHOLLANDIA

2. When the intention is to use the platform as a loading platform or bridge plate, following instructions apply:

OVERLOAD

Min. 25 cm

The tail lift can only be used as a loading

platform if the dock is lower than the

vehicle floor.

The tail lift can be used as a bridge

plate, if it is equipped with the optional

tilt cylinders with adjustable platform

orientation [option OVH011].

It is forbidden to drive forklifts or heavy electric

pallet jacks over the platform.

The total weight of the load and the lifting device

must not exceed the maximum rated capacity of

the tail lift. Beware not to overload!

While loading or unloading, the loading

floor of the vehicle might lower or rise

relative to the loading dock. Use the

electrical controls to adjust the platform

position flush with the loading dock

surface.

NEVER use a foldable platform as a

bridge plate between the vehicle floor

and a loading dock. Keep the platform

securely stowed in its travel position to

avoid damage

A minimum section of 25 cm of the

outboard platform edge must rest on

the loading dock.

NEVER use a dock plate on top of a

floating platform as a bridge plate

between the loading dock and the

vehicle floor.

Unless the vehicle suspension can be

blocked and the floor maintained at the

original vfh, the max. load transferred over

the platform should not exceed 1100 lbs /

500 kg. Exception: column lifts with 2 tilt

cylinders [option OVH011].

DHOLLANDIA

3. When the intention is to stow the platform in a pocket or brief

case under the loading dock, observe following points before

reversing into the dock:

Make sure the pocket is deep enough for the depth of the platform.

Make sure there is sufficient clearance above and below the platform, taking into account all possible variations in vehicle suspension and vehicle floor height.

Make sure the platform does not touch the ceiling, ground or end wall of the pocket.

Whenever cargo is loaded or offloaded with forklifts, electric pallet jacks, and the total weight of the load plus handling equipment exceeds the maximum rated capacity of the tail lift, ALWAYS use a dock plate from the loading dock to the vehicle floor, and safely stow the lift below the vehicle floor level, or in the pocket or brief case under the loading dock.

WARNING

ALWAYS stand with both feet on the ground on

safe operator position at the side of the body

when operating the external control box (see

also 7.4 from page 28 onwards) or the platform

locks. NEVER operate the external control box

or the platform locks from an elevated position,

such as the platform or a loading dock.

Before operating the tail lift, the operator must conduct the following daily pre-trip inspection. Use caution: stay clear of the

area directly behind the platform while conducting the daily pre-trip inspection.

Replace missing, worn or illegible warning decals immediately. See page 3 for contact info.

Make sure the cabin switch and / or main battery disconnect switch in the control box switch on and off accordingly.

Make sure the battery is fully charged, the main fuse is in good condition, and battery terminal connections are corrosion-free

and tight.

Check the overall condition of the main external control box and its switches. Confirm that all switches (except the ON / OFF

cabin switch) swiftly return to the neutral position after releasing them.

Check the overall condition of the cables entering the various control units, and of the cables to the pump unit. Make sure

cables are not chafed, loose or damaged.

Ensure the cover of the pump unit is properly installed and secured.

Check the pump unit for visible oil leaks.

Check if the platform is standing tight and straight between the columns (no chains or chain wheels broken or damaged).

Follow the instructions in section 9 to open and lower the platform to the ground, and continue the checks:

Visually inspect the general condition of the lift frame, lift runners, the mounting bolts or welds to the rear frame of the vehicle

body, and diagonal braces supporting the underside of the columns. Look for cracks or deformation in the material and welds.

Make sure the bolts of the columns to the rear frame are tightened.

Visually inspect columns and lift runners. Confirm visually that the chains are under tension and the platform hangs level

with the vehicle floor. Make sure the inside of the columns is free of sand, dirt or debris.

Make sure all pivot pins are properly locked and secured.

Visually inspect the general condition of the platform. Look for cracks or deformation in the material and welds. If so equipped,

make sure the platform-mounted options function correctly (roll stops, retention ramps, flashing warning lights).

Check the operation and overall condition of the closed platform lock and open platform lock. After lowering the platform from

its travel position, it should not be possible to pull the platform open by more than 10 without disengaging the platform lock.

Check the operation and overall condition of the torsion bars (manual closure). The platform can be manually opened and

closed without excessive effort.

Check the overall condition of the auxiliary controls and their switches. Confirm that all switches swiftly return to the neutral

position after releasing them. In case of a handheld control with spiral cable, inspect the spiral cable for wear or damage.

Make sure safe operator position and centre point of maximum load are clearly marked on the platform.

Make sure the platform surface is clean and can be accessed safely. Remove any snow, mud, dirt, debris, or slippery liquids.

Make sure you wear safety-toe shoes with a good non-slip sole.

WARNING

Using a tail lift that is damaged or improperly serviced, can put the operator and bystanders at great risk of serious bodily injury

and death.

To avoid this risk, inspect the tail lift prior to the first use of each day. Ensure that all safety systems and all functions operate

correctly, and that no maintenance or repair is required.

If any unsafe condition exists or unusual noises or movements are noticed, DO NOT use the tail lift, and contact an authorized

DHOLLANDIA agent for immediate repair. [see Notice]

DO NOT cover up any accidents or damage; it can be dangerous to you, your co-workers, and other persons.

35

DHOLLANDIA

Check the cylinder beam and optional tilt cylinders, their lock valves and fittings for visible oil leaks. Follow the hydraulic

pipes and fittings to the pump unit. Make sure all wires and hydraulic pipes are undamaged, not pinched or chafed

anywhere, and adequately secured with cable ties. Check for visible oil leaks.

Perform all movements with an unloaded platform several times with all available control units. Use the operation manual for

guidance.

Make sure all movements occur smoothly and quietly, without jerking motion or unusual noises. During LIFT and CLOSE

functions, only the sound of the electric motor in the pump unit should be audible.

Remember: if any part of the pre-trip inspection reveals a need for service or repair

DO NOT use the tail lift until it has been serviced or repaired by a qualified service technician.

Switch OFF power at the main battery disconnect switch or cabin switch.

7.7 IMPORTANCE OF PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

NOTICE

Competent and regular preventative maintenance is essential to the operational reliability of the tail lift as well as the safety of

the operator and all bystanders.

All maintenance and repair work must be performed by authorized DHOLLANDIA service agents and using original

DHOLLANDIA replacement parts only.

Please consult the separate MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR MANUAL for specific instructions regarding periodic maintenance.

If a tail lift cannot be repaired immediately in case of breakdown, it must be put out of operation and secured against unauthorized

use.

A tail lift put into its travel position with the help of external devices (forklift, gantry crane, etc.), is not supported by its hydraulic

cylinders. After releasing the mechanical platform lock, the platform and lifting mechanism will drop in free fall, without any

possibility to stop the fall by means of the regular controls.

Note: examples of additional means are additional securing of the platform lock (if available), or securing the platform by means

of ratchet straps, hoists, etc.

To re-open the tail lift, use again an external device (forklift, gantry crane, etc.) for additional support. Or repair the breakdown

first, bring the hydraulic system under pressure, and release the platform locks after satisfactory testing of the hydraulic integrity.

Follow the MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR MANUAL for all maintenance and repair works.

WARNING

Impact by a falling platform will result in serious bodily injury or death. To reduce the risk of injury:

Close the platform lock (if available) and apply additional means to immobilize the platform [see Note

below].

Attach a clear and highly visible warning tag to the platform and the external control box.

Warn your supervisor and have this vehicle put out of service.

Contact an authorized DHOLLANDIA service agent to repair the tail lift prior to any further use.

DHOLLANDIA

8 LOAD CHARTS AND CORRECT LOADING PROCEDURES

NOTICE

Tail lifts are NOTdesigned to LIFT / LOWER weights corresponding to their maximum rated capacity over the entire surface of the platform. The maximum rated capacity is valid at a certain distance or centre point of maximum load behind the vehicle body. Behind that point marked on the platform, the maximum safe working load diminishes according to the load charts below.

When LIFTING, the tail lift is normally protected against overload by the pressure relief valve in the hydraulic circuit. Most of overload events and resulting damage happen when LOWERING loads.

The maximum rated capacity is the maximum weight that the tail lift can carry under the following best possible circumstances:

the centre of gravity of the load stands no further than the designated centre point of maximum load of the tail lift, marked

on the platform surface.

the load stands mid-point between the lift arms and is at equal distance from both platform sides.

WARNING

Overloading and improper loading and unloading of the tail lift will put the operator and bystanders at great risk of serious bodily

injury or death. Such conditions will also cause premature wear and damage to the tail lift, or failure of the tail lift.

Therefore, it is essential that the operator respects the maximum rated capacity and follows the loading instructions and the

load chart with great care.

DHOLLANDIA disclaims liability for all personal bodily injury and / or property damage that results from overloading practices.

NOT OK

NEVER position

the load at the

outboard

platform edge.

OK

ALWAYS position

the load as close as

possible to the rear

of the vehicle, near

the inboard platform

edge.

OK

ALWAYS position

the load mid-point

between the lift

arms.

NOT OK

NEVER load on one

side of the platform

only.

Or limit load to 50%

of maximum rated

capacity.

Uneven loading on one side of the platform should be avoided. Limit the load to 50% of the maximum rated capacity

when loading on one side of the platform only.

38

DHOLLANDIA

The maximum safe working load GOES DOWN according to the load charts. The following type of load chart decals are supplied

with the tail lift and must be duly observed.

WARNING

Overloading and improper loading and unloading of the tail lift will put the operator and bystanders at great risk of serious bodily

injury or death. Such conditions will also cause premature wear and damage to the tail lift, or failure of the tail lift.

Pay attention to avoid concealed overload situations as shown in examples below. Serious bodily injury or death may result

from failure to abide by these warnings.

NEVER let the load extend beyond

the outboard edge or side edges of

the platform.

NEVER let the wheels of a pallet jack extend or drop down beyond the outboard

or side edges of the platform. Keep the pallet jack and its load on the platform

surface, as close as possible to the inboard platform edge. Lower and rest the

pallet or load on the platform surface to prevent it from shifting position while lifting

and lowering.

OVERLOAD OVERLOAD

39

DHOLLANDIA

WARNING

Lower and rest the pallet or load on the platform

surface to prevent it from shifting position while lifting

and lowering.

NEVER drop any load on the platform (ex. by means

of a forklift, gantry crane, etc). The impact of

dropping a load is far greater than the nominal weight

of the load and can cause severe damage to the tail

lift.

NEVER drive a forklift onto the platform. Driving a forklift onto the platform can cause severe structural damage, potentially

invisible to the operator at first glance. Further use of an overloaded or damaged platform can put the operator and bystanders

at great risk of serious bodily injury and death.

NEVER try to scoop loose material (ex.

sand, gravel, rocks, etc) from the ground,

to attempt to move it by means of the

platform, or to lift / lower it on the platform.

NEVER use the platform to level the

ground surface, or to push or pull loads or

material by means of the platform. NEVER

use the platform to move snow or other

debris.

9 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - PRINCIPLES AND PROCEDURES

9.1 PLATFORM RIDE

The ride of a tail lift describes the movement that its platform goes through when lifting and lowering. All column lifts in this manual

are equipped with a flat platform and a level ride.

While the platform travels up and down, the angle between the platform and the columns remains unchanged. If the vehicle is

standing level on flat, even ground, the platform will travel up and down level with the ground.

The majority of the column lifts have manual closure. In option, certain models can be equipped with 1 or 2 tilt cylinders.

Option OVH004 (= 1 tilt cylinder) enables the operator to open and close the platform hydraulically instead of manually, but the

orientation of the platform is not adjustable. (Platform is fully closed at 90 or fully open at 0).

Option OVH011 (= 2 tilt cylinders) enables the operator to open and close the platform hydraulically instead of manually, and to

adjust the orientation of the platform to the slope of the ground, or to tilt the platform towards a loading dock.

Type Lift capacity Manual closure Hydraulic closure 0-90

DH-VO.20.K9 1500 2000 kg standard optional optional

DH-VH.15.H1 1000 1500 kg standard optional optional

WARNING

It is important for both types of tail lifts that loads on wheels or loads that could easily shift position and fall from the platform

are properly secured on the platform surface prior to operating the tail lift. See also section 9.8 from page 60 onwards.

For lifts with non-adjustable platform orientation, it is ESSENTIAL that the operator ensures that roll stops or retention ramp

are deployed (if available), wheel stops or brakes are activated, or the load is secured on the platform in a different way prior

to operating the tail lift.

Improperly secured loads could fall off the platform and put the operator and bystanders at great risk of serious bodily injury

and death.

DHOLLANDIA

When riding on the platform, make sure

you stand min. 25 cm away from the

inboard platform edge, make sure your

footing is solid, and ALWAYS maintain 2

feet on the platform surface [see 7.4 from

page 28 onwards].

When reaching out your hand for a 3rd

point of contact, ALWAYS stay clear of

the open lift columns and the moving lift

runner, chains, and pulleys.

LOWER the platform to the ground. LIFT the platform off the ground. At the

vehicle floor, continue to press LIFT until

you hear the hydraulic system go in

overpressure. Then, release the

controls.

Loading and unloading

If the tail lift is equipped with guard

rails, ALWAYS deploy the guard rails

before operating the tail lift, and use

these rails as 3rd point of contact.

NEVER pull the load

from the vehicle onto the

platform. ALWAYS push

it out. Pulling the load

from the vehicle can

result in a fall from the

platform and cause

serious injury or death.

Before lifting or

lowering loads, make

sure the loads are

secured on the platform

surface. Deploy the

platform roll stops (if so

equipped), lower loads

on a pallet jack down on

the platform surface or

immobilize the load via

equivalent securement

device.

Switch off the electrical power

to the tail lift (cabin switch or

main battery disconnect switch

in the external control box, or

both if both are available).

Close the cover of the control

box.

LIFT the closed platform up to the

vehicle floor to stow it in its travel

position and engage the

mechanical stow lock.

Continue to press LIFT until you

hear the hydraulic system go in

overpressure. Then, release the

controls.

Depending on the start position, LOWER

or LIFT the platform to approx. 15 cm

below the vehicle floor level.

Make sure you comply with load charts

and instructions at all times.

LOWER the platform to the ground. LIFT the platform off the ground. At the

vehicle floor, continue to press LIFT until

you hear the hydraulic system go in

overpressure. Then, release the controls.

Closing up in travel position

If so equipped, stow the roll stops or

retention ramp built into the platform.

The roll stops are operated by foot;

the retention ramp by hand.

CLOSE the platform. Continue to press

CLOSE until you hear the hydraulic

system go in overpressure. Then,

release the controls.

59

DHOLLANDIA

Most column lifts are equipped with a device that shut

closes the platform tight against the lift columns, after it

was tilted in the vertical position and while it is lifted in

its travel position.

Therefore, while stowing the platform in its travel

position, ALWAYS stand with both feet on the ground

on a free-standing, safe operator position at the side of

the body and ALWAYS keep head, limbs and upper

body clear of hazardous space between the platform

and the lift columns.

At any time during the operation, release the activated button(s) to stop the platform from moving. Additionally, if so

equipped, turning the main battery disconnect switch counter-clockwise will switch off electrical power to the tail lift.

NOTICE

The DH-VO*K1 is equipped with a mechanical stow lock that is automatically engaged when the closed platform is LIFTED up

and pressurized against the underside of the cylinder beam.

DO NOT try to OPEN or CLOSE the platform while it stands at its maximum level. To OPEN or CLOSE the platform, it must

stand at a distance of minimum 15 cm below the underside of the cylinder beam.

9.8 THE USE OF ROLL STOPS

Before lifting or lowering loads, ALWAYS apply all brakes or

stops available to secure the load. Engage the wheel brakes

of carts, trolleys or machinery (if available). When using pallet

jacks, lower and rest the pallet or load onto the platform

surface.

DHOLLANDIA offers various roll stop options, delivered to

customer specification. Contact your regional DHOLLANDIA
