Page 20: Design And Function
Design and Function General The Waltco Liftgate consists of a number of main components, namely the frame, lift arms, platform and chassis bracket. The Liftgate is operated electro-hydraulically. A hydraulic pump powered by the vehicle's ordinary battery supplies hydraulic oil to the actuating hydraulic cylinders. -
Page 21: Lift Arm
The electric lowering valve also acts as a locking device during transport. Control system Waltco Liftgates may be fitted with advanced types of control systems adapted to the specific product. The control system controls the hydraulic system and thus the Liftgate’s various functions. The system interprets the operator's pushbutton commands as well as signals from various sensors in the Liftgate structure. -
Page 22: Cab Switch
Design and Function Cab switch The Liftgate can be fitted with a cab switch to switch control power On/Off. When the con- trol circuit is switched off, the lift is ‘locked’. The cab switch should always be in the OFF position during transport and whenever the Liftgate is not in use. Typical cab switch... -
Page 23: Safety Devices
Design and Function Safety devices 3.9.1 Limiting to a single operator The Liftgate may only be operated by one person at a time. The control system has a safety feature that prevents two people from operating the Liftgate simultaneously from different control devices. -
Page 24: Controllers
Design and Function 3.10 Controllers All Liftgate functions are controlled by one or more control devices. The lift can be operated by several different types of fixed, hardwired control devices and remote (radio) control devices. One of the control devices is the primary control device, which means it includes all pos- sible functions for the Liftgate concerned. The remaining control devices are secondary, which may mean the number of functions is limited for safety reasons. - Page 25 Location of fixed control device The Liftgate is fitted with one or more control devices. Only control devices approved by Waltco may be used. Fixed control devices are installed on the vehicle superstructure or on brackets below the superstructure. The control devices must be positioned according to applicable regulations, with a certain distance from the crush hazard area between the platform and the superstructure, but without restricting the operator’s clear view of the...

Page 26: Electric Autotilt
Design and Function 3.11 Electric autotilt The electric autotilt feature simplifies Liftgate operation. Autotilt-down is enabled automatically when the Down function is used and when the platform rests on the ground. This function automatically tilts the tip of the platform down towards the ground. In autotilt down, the tilt function is driven solely by gravity. For fastest operation, the plat- form should first be tilted manually to the horizontal position before enabling autotilt. -
Page 27: Overheating Protection
Design and Function 3.12 Overheating protection The hydraulic system is equipped with a thermostat which cuts control circuit power and reduces the risk of damage to the motor if it overheats, which may occur during e.g. contin- uous, intensive use. The amount of continuous work the Liftgate is able to perform is influenced by ambient temperature and the load the Liftgate is exposed to. -

Page 33: Loading And Unloading With The Platform On Ground
Operation Loading and unloading with the platform on ground IMPORTANT It is only permitted to drive a forklift on the platform when the platform is resting fully on the ground. Otherwise, the load on the Liftgate will be too great. Risk of material damage. During loading, the vehicle will get lower and the ground pressure on the Liftgate will in- crease by a weight equivalent to the total weight loaded in to the vehicle. -
Page 34: Loading And Unloading With The Platform On A Loading Dock
Operation Loading and unloading with the platform on a loading dock IMPORTANT Maximum load = Liftgate load capacity x 0.5. Exceeding Liftgate load capacity may cause material damage.
