2. Foot control switches
Tired of trying to operate your tail lift when your hands are full? Leave this problem in the past by installing a foot control switch. These switches are easy to operate with your feet, leaving your hands free for when you need them.
Each foot control switch only has one function, so you’ll have to install two or three switches to make your tail lift ready for use. One switch will move the tail lift up, one will move it down and, if required, the third will move it into a neutral position. Once installed, operating your tail lift is simple: just place your foot on the switch that corresponds to the direction you want your tail lift to move in.
Your benefits:
- Easy to use
- Easy to install
- You keep your hands free
3. Wireless remote controls
Want to control your tail lift remotely? It’s simple to do! Wireless remote controls consist of a transmitter and a receiver. The receiver is attached to your tail lift and the wireless transmitter communicates with it using radio waves. When you press a button, the command is transmitted to the receiver and carried out. If you press the button for ‘up’, your tail lift will go up and if you press ‘down’, then down it will go. Simple and effective.
Your benefits:
- Compact and wireless
- You stay in control: the remote control continuously changes its frequency according to a predefined pattern
- Can be used worldwide thanks to the 2.4 GHz frequency
- CE approved and certified
