Superior Build Quality

Dhollandia lifts are designed to deliver unmatched reliability and durability. All models feature low-maintenance bearings and grease nipples at critical articulation points to simplify upkeep. Piston rods are made of hard-chromed stainless steel to withstand all weather conditions and maintain smooth operation.

Protective finishes are applied to ensure longevity, with hot-dip zinc plating or Protection PLUS on most lifts and zinc-nickel treatment on key components. This focus on superior build quality makes a Dhollandia lift a trusted investment for businesses that rely on consistent performance.

  • Low-Maintenance Bearings: Reduce wear and maintenance effort
  • Grease Nipples: Easy lubrication of all critical articulation points
  • Hard-Chromed Piston Rods: Protects cylinders from corrosion and weather damage
  • Protective Finishes: Hot-dip zinc plating or Protection PLUS on most lifts
  • Zinc-Nickel Surface Treatments: Applied to pins and small steel components for longevity

These quality measures translate into fewer breakdowns and longer lift life. A well-built lift not only ensures operational efficiency but also improves safety for workers handling cargo daily.

Fold-Away Lifts

Fold-Away lifts provide an ideal solution for trucks and semi-trailers that require frequent access to loading docks. They offer a level ride from the cargo area to the ground and can be folded under the chassis when not in use, freeing up space for other operations. The lifts are versatile and suitable for a wide range of vehicles, including refrigerated trucks.

Customisable platforms, either lightweight aluminium or reinforced steel, provide flexibility depending on the operational needs. Bolt-on mounting plates allow for easy installation, and additional options are available for specialised vehicles.
