Troubleshooting Hydraulic Tail Lift Failure to Raise: Top Beam Engineers Detail 7 Causes & Solutions
I. Power System Diagnosis
When a vehicle tail lift fails to raise, Top Beam engineers recommend first inspecting the power system. Potential issues in electric/hydraulic drives include:
Motor/Hydraulic Pump Failure
Symptom: No operational sound or abnormal power output
Solution:
✓ Check motor carbon brush wear
✓ Test hydraulic pump pressure (Standard: ≥150 bar)
Battery Issues
Voltage<21V causes power insufficiency
Top Beam's Solution:
✓ Standard smart battery monitor with LED indicators for real-time status check
II. Circuit & Control Module Inspection
Despite IP67-rated protection, Top Beam tail lifts require:
Wiring Connections
Check oxidation/looseness at 9-pin interface between receiver and main control board
Control Module Testing
Use multimeter to test solenoid valve resistance (Normal range: 4.5-5.5Ω)
Replace control board if abnormal
Emergency Stop Switch
System lockout if red button engaged
Reset: Rotate clockwise 90°
III. Hydraulic System Failures (43% of Lift Issues)
Hydraulic Oil Leaks
Inspect:
✓ Cylinder seals (Recommended: Nitrile Rubber material)
✓ Pipe connector seepage
Oil Line Blockage
Winter risk: Fluid solidification
Top Beam Recommendation:
✓ Use ISO HVLP-32 low-temperature anti-freeze hydraulic oil
Relief Valve Settings
Recalibrate if pressure < standard:
✓ 2-ton model: ≥16 MPa
IV. Mechanical Structural Issues
Hook Jamming
Solution:
✓ Lubricate folding hinges with WD-40
✓ Clear debris from tracks
Overload Protection
Top Beam Safety Feature:
✓ Smart pressure sensor triggers buzzer alarm + auto-shutdown at 110% overload
Balancing Cylinder Failure
Legacy models: Bent piston rods
Repair: Replace with hard-chromium plated cylinder assembly
