Tail-Lift Vans Explained: The Secret to Safe and Easy Heavy Item Deliveries
When it comes to delivering heavy or bulky items, the right equipment can make all the difference. At Phillips Logistics, we understand that furniture, kitchen units, bathroom suites, and palletised products require more than just a standard van. That is why our tail-lift vans are an essential part of our fleet, ensuring safe, efficient, and stress-free deliveries for our customers.
What is a Tail-Lift Van
A tail-lift van is a vehicle fitted with a hydraulic platform at the rear that can be raised or lowered to the ground. This allows heavy items to be loaded or unloaded safely without the need for excessive lifting by our delivery teams. Tail-lift vans are ideal for moving large, awkward, or fragile items directly from the van to the customer’s doorstep.
The Benefits of Tail-Lift Vans
Using tail-lift vans offers several advantages for both the delivery team and the customer:
- Safe Handling: Heavy items can be lifted mechanically, reducing the risk of damage to the goods and injury to staff.
- Efficiency: Loading and unloading are faster and more precise, allowing deliveries to be completed on time.
- Accessibility: Tail-lift vans can deliver directly to homes, offices, or retail locations even where there is no loading dock.
- Versatility: They are suitable for a wide range of items, from single pallets to full loads of goods.
