Fixed Control

Link to Optional Remote Pendant Control

Liftgates come standard with a Curb side Fixed control. For safety and ease of use, the control features:

  • Low-Voltage protection helps prevent electrical failure.

Main Frame Box

The Main Frame Box cover is removable with platform in the up or down position. The electrical and hydraulic systems are located inside for easy access while being protected from the elements.

Located inside are the pump and motor unit, cables, cylinders, and:

-Pressure Relief valve – Prevents the raising of the lift if the platform is overloaded.

-Molded Ground/Power Cable

All Liftgates come standard with a full-length molded ground and power cable and a circuit breaker.

Molded Power Cable

The dual-cable design allows a direct connection from the liftgate to the battery without needing a separate ground connection or ground strap.

The 150 amp circuit breaker with manual reset helps protect the electrical system.

Circuit Breaker

-Cylinder Mounted Flow Control valve – The flow control valve guards against uncontrolled descent in event of hose failure.

-Pump and Motor – The full-size pump and motor unit has a two year warranty.

Trailer Hitch compatible
