DAUTEL Mechanics – Spare parts for the modular platform mechanism

Mechanical spare parts for DAUTEL tail lifts cover the modular platform mechanism of the three main body types: LIFTER swivelling, FOLDER folding and SLIDER sliding. Each kinematic uses its own load-bearing components, joints and bearings tuned to the respective movement principle. As an authorized DAUTEL service partner, SULEJ Ladebordwand ensures the professional supply of suitable mechanical components.

Mechanical components in the DAUTEL system

The visible core of every DAUTEL mechanical setup is the platform and its load-bearing structure. On the LIFTER it hangs from a swivelling lift arm, on the FOLDER from a multi-part folding joint, on the SLIDER from a pull-out frame with slide and roller guidance. Platform profiles, cross beams and approach edges carry the load directly and bear the highest stress – deformation, cracks at weld seams or worn-out bores are the typical findings after extended use in daily operation.

The platform is moved by a network of pivot pins, bushings and swivel bearings. Each joint transfers load and motion forces and relies on grease nipples for lubrication. Main wear points are the swivel joints of the lift arm, the folding axes on the FOLDER as well as slide pads and rollers on the SLIDER. Carefully matched bushing and pin diameters, suitable retaining rings and intact grease nipples are decisive in keeping play in the movement sequence low.

The DAUTEL mechanical range comprises several hundred individual parts across all capacity classes and model years. Key component groups include:

• Platforms for DLB-47 and DLB-48
• Swing arms for LIFTER and folding joints for FOLDER
• Pull-out rails with slide and roller guidance for SLIDER
• Pivot pins, swivel bearings, bushings and grease nipples

In addition, we supply pins, bushings, bearings, platform components, approach rollers, wear strips and numerous further components for maintenance, repair and general overhaul.

Note on the three platform kinematics

LIFTER, FOLDER and SLIDER cover different application areas within the DAUTEL range. The LIFTER swivels the platform and suits classic loading and unloading operations. The FOLDER folds the platform for a clear rear view and tight overall height. The SLIDER pushes the platform under the loading floor – ideal for ramp docking and fully usable cargo area. The chosen kinematic determines which spare parts match each other.
