Elevate Your Logistics Efficiency with Tail Lift Solutions in Dubai
In Dubai’s fast-paced commercial environment, time and safety are critical currencies. The physical challenge of manually loading and unloading heavy, palletized, or bulky items at ground level can create bottlenecks, increase labor costs, and pose significant safety risks. A tail lift truck, a vehicle equipped with an integrated hydraulic platform at the rear, transforms this operation, enabling fast, efficient, and safe handling of goods without the need for loading docks or forklifts.
Amjad Khan Transport provides professional tail lift truck rental in Dubai, featuring a fleet of vans and trucks fitted with reliable hydraulic lift systems, including renowned brands like Dhollandia. Our solutions are designed to streamline your supply chain, protect your cargo and crew, and enhance productivity for businesses across retail, construction, logistics, and events.

What is a Tail Lift Truck and Why It’s Essential
A tail lift truck rental in Dubai is a mechanical or hydraulic platform mounted on the rear of a vehicle that can be lowered to ground level, loaded, and then raised to the level of the cargo bed. This technology is indispensable for
Ground-Level Loading and Unloading
Operations at locations without raised loading docks (most retail stores, construction sites, older buildings).
Handling Heavy or Palletized Goods
Safely moving items weighing hundreds of kilograms or standard Euro pallets.
Improving Operational Safety
Eliminates the need for dangerous manual lifting, reducing workplace injury risk.
Increasing Efficiency
Drastically cuts loading/unloading times compared to manual methods or using ramps.

FAQ About Tail Lift Truck Rental Dubai
Q1: What is the difference between a tail lift and a crane (lorry loader)?
A tail lift is a platform that moves vertically between the ground and the truck bed, ideal for palletized or wheeled goods. A crane or lorry loader is an articulated arm used for lifting single, heavy, or awkward items from the side of the vehicle and placing them precisely. The choice depends on your cargo type.
Q2: Do I need a special license to operate a vehicle with a tail lift?
Operating the vehicle requires the standard UAE driving license for that weight category. Operating the tail lift itself does not typically require a separate license, but proper training is crucial for safety. We ensure all drivers we provide are fully trained.
Q3: Can a tail lift be used on uneven ground, like a construction site?
Caution is required. Most tail lifts are designed for use on relatively level, solid ground. Using them on significant slopes or soft terrain can be unsafe. We advise assessing the delivery site beforehand. Some heavy-duty models have stabilizer legs for uneven surfaces.
Q4: How do I maintain and ensure the safety of the tail lift during my rental?
All our lifts are certified and maintained by our team. As the renter, your responsibility is operational care: not exceeding the stated weight limit, ensuring the load is centered and secure on the platform, and keeping the platform clean and free of debris. A pre-rental briefing covers all key points.
Q5: Are spare parts and service readily available for brands like Dhollandia in the UAE?
Yes. Leading brands like Dhollandia have established distributor networks and service centers in the UAE, ensuring good parts availability and technical support, which contributes to our fleet’s reliability.
Q6: Can I rent just the tail lift unit to install on my own truck?
We specialize in complete vehicle rentals. Installing a tail lift is a complex modification requiring certification. We recommend renting one of our ready-equipped, fully compliant vehicles to guarantee performance and insurance coverage.
