Have questions about tail lift deliveries?
What is a tail lift delivery?
A tail lift delivery uses a hydraulic platform fitted to the back of the vehicle, allowing the driver to raise and lower heavy or palletised goods between ground level and the load bed. It’s ideal when there’s no forklift on site.
Do I need a forklift or loading bay?
No – that’s the benefit of a tail lift. As long as the ground is reasonably flat and there’s enough space at the kerbside, we can usually load and unload using a pallet truck and the tail lift.
How much weight can you move on a tail lift?
It depends on the vehicle, but typically up to 1,000kg per pallet on a Luton tail lift, and more on larger trucks. Tell us your approximate weights and we’ll advise the safest option.
Can I book as an individual, or is this only for businesses?
Both. We work with businesses and private customers – whether you’re moving stock, equipment or a one-off bulky item.
How soon can you collect?
Most collections are same day, often within 60 minutes. Larger or specialised vehicles may depend on availability, but we’ll always confirm the quickest option.
Do you operate 24/7?
Yes, our team and network of drivers operate around the clock – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
