Introduction to Kora’s Hydraulic Tail Lift

Hydraulic Tail Lifts have become an essential solution for vehicle loading and unloading operations, providing robust performance, efficiency, and safety. Kora’s KCL is the most powerful execution in its range of chain-driven Hydraulic Lifts, specifically designed to handle demanding lifting tasks with ease. With a remarkable lifting capacity of 4000 kg, the KCL stands out in the market, offering superior functionality and durability compared to standard hydraulic lifting solutions.

The reinforced platform used in the KCL model adds substantial weight to the lift, which is why Kora strongly recommends opting for hydraulic closure to enhance user convenience and operational efficiency. The hydraulic closure options include:

  • Hydraulic closure with a single tilt cylinder – This configuration allows the operator to open and close the platform easily, but does not provide an adjustable platform orientation.

  • Hydraulic closure with dual tilt cylinders – This option offers greater flexibility, enabling the operator to adjust the tilt and platform orientation as needed.

CHARACTERISTICS:

Platform Characteristics

  • Heavy-duty steel and lightweight aluminum platform options.
  • Aluminum platforms are designed with longitudinally oriented profiles and a cross-milled anti-slip pattern to ensure optimal safety.
  • Synthetic rollers provide smooth and reliable contact between the platform and the ground.

Additional Platform Features

  • The platform includes a fixed leading edge at the outboard edge, though hinged ramps are available as an optional feature.

  • Manual open/close operation for aluminum platforms is assisted by torsion bars, while hydraulic closure remains an option for enhanced ease of use.

  • Steel platforms come with a Kora proprietary steel frame profile, specifically designed for hydraulic closure, ensuring maximum strength and longevity.
