Hose breakage protection
Solenoid valves serve to shut off the oil flow when the hose bursts, and the operation stops. These valves are mounted as close as possible to (by means of a valve block) or directly on the cylinders.
We offer mechanical Solenoid valves as well as electrical Solenoid valves. Most brands of Solenoid valves are equipped with an emergency operation for operation in case of malfunctions in the electrical system. When using the emergency operation, always stay out of the turning radius of the platform and the moving parts of the tail lift such as the lifting arm and cylinders. After repairing the malfunction, do not forget to return the emergency operation (if applicable) to the initial position.
