Stuttgart � Furniture transport companies, removal firms and tradespeople in a wide range of fields are well aware of the problem: heavy and bulky items such as furniture, tool trolleys or goods in wheeled containers are difficult to load and unload. Now an optional, electrohydraulically operated tail-lift makes it much easier to load and unload the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter panel van, while improving convenience and safety at the same time. It is available directly ex factory from D�sseldorf.
Load capacity up to 600 kg, available for all panel vans
The tail-lift is bolted beneath the rear end of the van and has a load capacity of 600 kg, with the exception of the long-wheelbase Sprinter with a long overhang, where it is 500 kg. When not in use, the tail-lift folds away vertically at a 90-degree angle on the left side of the vehicle, behind the rear end. If a window in the partition and hinged rear doors are ordered, there is still an unimpeded view to the rear through the interior mirror. When folded out the tail-lift has an area of 1880 x 1330 mm, which is large enough even for very bulky items.
The tail-lift is available for the Sprinter panel van with either a medium
(3665 mm) or long wheelbase (4325 mm), and for all weight classes. Including the necessary ancillary items such as hinged doors with a 270-degree opening angle, a wood floor in the load compartment and an auxiliary battery, the total weight is around 350 kg. Thanks to an optional, removable ball-type coupling, trailer operation remains no problem.
Mercedes-Benz� partner for this tail-lift is the market leader, B�rCargolift. As orders are processed via the successful Mercedes-Benz Van Solution systems partnership, customers benefit from an uncomplicated, single-source process: the tail-lift can be ordered from the normal Mercedes-Benz Sprinter price list as a single-invoice transaction. Ordering, delivery and servicing, as well as the guarantee and warranty, are fully administered via the Mercedes-Benz organisation.
