A tail lift is a hydraulic platform fitted to the rear of a van or lorry that raises and lowers freight between ground level and the vehicle floor. As a light haulage operator based in Seaham, County Durham, we handle tail lift delivery jobs regularly across Sunderland, the North East, and UK-wide.

When You Actually Need a Tail Lift

  • The consignment is too heavy to lift safely by hand
  • The delivery address has no loading bay or dock
  • The freight is on a pallet and can’t be broken down
  • Delivering to a residential address — domestic homes almost never have dock access
  • The driver is working alone and the item requires more than one person to carry

Vehicle Type

Tail lifts aren’t fitted to small vans. If you need one, you’re looking at a Luton van as a minimum. Our light haulage fleet includes tail lift-equipped vehicles. Confirm at booking — not on arrival — that you need one.

A tail lift job planned properly takes fifteen minutes to arrange. A tail lift job that wasn’t planned right can take all day.

We operate from Seaham and cover the North East including Sunderland, Durham, Newcastle, Gateshead, and Teesside. For business deliveries requiring tail lift vehicles, contact us for a quote.
