Retractable lift gate DH-SO8.20

for trucks

Like the other slider lifts from the DH-SO… range, the DH-SO8 is also equipped with a double folded platform, to minimize the required installation space behind the mud-guard or springer hangar. But this lift is mainly focused on commercial vehicles with BDF – AWL swap bodies and containers. Its platform consists of 3 sections: a sturdy fixed steel section, which also forms the bumper bar; and 2 light-weight aluminium folding sections. The inboard edge of the steel platform section can be equipped with a hinged bridge plate [option OAP618.SO8], that allows for easier adjustment and alignment of the platform to varying types and dimensions of swap bodies. The long lift arms and geometry of the lift frame are specially designed to bridge the high package of a vehicle chassis, the subframe with twist-lock cross members, and the floor thickness of the swap body.
