The Strategic Advantage of Our tail lift truck hire
Heavy-Duty Engineering for Demanding Cargo
Our trucks are equipped with high-capacity hydraulic tail lifts, capable of smoothly and safely handling loads from 500 kg to 2,000 kg. Built for durability, they perform reliably in the region's climate, ensuring consistent operation from the ports of Jebel Ali to the construction sites of Khalifa City.
Maximized Operational Efficiency & Safety
The integrated tail lift transforms loading docks, curbsides, and uneven ground into efficient loading zones. This dramatically reduces reliance on manual labor, forklifts, or external loading ramps, minimizing the risk of product damage and workplace injury while speeding up entire delivery cycles.
A Versatile Fleet for Diverse Needs
We offer a range of truck sizes paired with appropriate lift capacities. From smaller 3-ton vans with lifts for urban deliveries to larger 10-ton trucks for industrial equipment, we have the right configuration. Options include refrigerated tail lift truck hire for combined cold-chain and heavy-load needs.
Expert Drivers & Load Securing
Our optional professional driver service includes operators trained in safe load distribution, lift operation, and advanced securing techniques using ratchet straps and load bars, guaranteeing your cargo arrives intact.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the maximum weight a tail lift can handle?
Our fleet offers a range. Our light-duty vans typically handle 500-800 kg, medium trucks manage 1,000-1,500 kg, and our heavy-duty trucks can lift up to 2,200 kg. We will always recommend a truck with a lift capacity exceeding your single heaviest item.
Do I need special training or a license to operate the tail lift?
For self-drive rentals, our team provides a full operational briefing. While a standard UAE heavy vehicle license is required for the truck itself, no separate license is needed for the tail lift truck rental. We ensure you are confident in its safe use before departure.
Can the tail lift be used on uneven ground or without a loading dock?
Yes, this is one of its key advantages! Hydraulic tail lifts are designed to operate safely on level ground, curbsides, and moderately uneven surfaces, making them ideal for deliveries to locations without formal loading bays.
How does pricing work for tail lift truck hire?
Pricing is based on the truck size, rental duration (daily/weekly/monthly), and service option (with or without driver). We provide all-inclusive, transparent quotes covering the vehicle, lift, insurance, and UAE registration.
What if the tail lift malfunctions during my rental?
All our equipment is meticulously maintained. However, in the rare event of a malfunction, our 24/7 support team will be dispatched immediately to resolve the issue on-site or arrange a vehicle replacement to minimize your downtime.
Can I hire a tail lift truck with a driver for a single job?
Absolutely. We offer maximum flexibility. You can hire a truck with one of our experienced drivers for a single job, a full day, or on a long-term contract. This is ideal for companies without specialized drivers or for peak-period support.
Are your trucks suitable for transporting sensitive electronic equipment?
Yes. The controlled, platform-based loading of a tail lift is far gentler than manual handling or forklifts. Combined with our box-body trucks for weather protection and our drivers’ expertise in load securing, they are an excellent choice for sensitive cargo.
