Maintenance & Accessories

Maintenance and accessory parts for tail gate systems (lift gate platforms) – The basis for safe operation

Maintenance and accessory parts are essential for the safe and reliable function of tail gate systems (lift gate platforms). They help keep mechanical and hydraulic components permanently operational and ensure that the tail gate does not pose a risk to personnel, the vehicle, or the surrounding area during daily use.

In transport, logistics, and workshop operations, tail gates are exposed to high loads. Wear, weather influences, and intensive use make regular maintenance necessary. In this category you will find maintenance, replacement, and accessory parts for tail gate systems, including wear parts, lubricants, hydraulic oil, care and service products, as well as labeling and documentation accessories for proper servicing. SULEJ Ladebordwand stands for practical solutions and proven quality in professional use.

Function and use of maintenance and accessory parts

Maintenance and accessory parts directly affect the operational safety of the tail lift. They enable regular care of moving components, support the function of the hydraulic system, and ensure that all safety-relevant information remains available at all times.

Typical areas of use include:

• Lubricants and greases to reduce wear
• Hydraulic oil for tail gate systems and additional operating fluids
• Replacement and wear parts for ongoing operation
• Service and maintenance accessories for workshop and upkeep
• Type plates, load plates, and inspection books for secure documentation

These components are essential for workshops as well as fleet and operator teams, as they reduce downtime and support the regular maintenance of the tail gate.

UVV inspection and servicing – Why maintenance is mandatory

Tail gate systems are considered safety-relevant work equipment and must be inspected regularly. The purpose of the UVV inspection is to ensure that the tail gate does not pose a risk to operators or third parties and remains in proper condition.

As part of a UVV inspection, it is checked, among other things, whether:

• mechanical and hydraulic components function properly
• moving parts are sufficiently lubricated
• hydraulic oil and operating fluids are in suitable condition
• safety-relevant markings are present and legible
• warning flags and flashing lights are complete, functional, and clearly visible
• maintenance, servicing, and documentation are carried out in a traceable manner

Warning flags and warning lights are part of the safety-relevant equipment of the tail gate. Damaged, dirty, faded, or non-functioning warning devices must be noted during the UVV inspection and replaced if necessary, as they can no longer provide reliable warning effectiveness.

Missing or defective maintenance, replacement, or accessory parts on the tail gate often lead to findings during the UVV inspection. The obligation for regular inspection results, among other things, from the German Industrial Safety Regulation (BetrSichV) and DGUV requirements. Beyond the legal obligation, UVV inspections primarily serve accident prevention and the protection of everyone involved.

Maintenance in daily operation – What really matters

A safe tail gate is not created only during the inspection, but through consistent maintenance in daily operation. Regular visual checks, re-lubrication of moving parts, and timely replacement of wear parts are crucial for long service life.

Hydraulic oil plays a central role because it not only transmits force but also protects components. Contaminated or aged operating fluids can cause malfunctions and should be replaced as part of maintenance. A complete and clearly readable status of labeling and documentation is equally important, especially in workshop and fleet operations.
