Palfinger Tail Lifts revealed its latest update to the PTV range with a new Tip Over lift designed for tippers.
A variation of the immensely popular PTV 500 lift range that is designed specifically for 3.5 tonne vehicles, the new PTV 500 LTO Tip Over lift enables tipper vehicles to tip beyond the tail lift.
The new design allows material to be loaded normally into the load bed using the tail lift, but with the added benefit of being able to lower the folded tail lift below the level of the load bed floor in order to safely discharge without causing damage to the lift.
The PTV 500 LTO is also said to be more robust but lighter weight than the standard design, and is expected to find use amongst local council and operators of tipper and dropside vehicles. The Palfinger Tip Over is available to order from next month with production beginning in October.
