Tail Lift Van Hire

A tail lift van transforms the loading and unloading process for heavy or awkward goods. Rather than manually lifting items in and out of the van — a task that is both physically demanding and presents a genuine injury risk when dealing with heavy furniture, appliances, or palletised goods — a hydraulic tail lift platform does the work for you. Simply lower the platform to ground level, load your goods, and raise it smoothly to the height of the van floor. The entire operation can be completed by one person working safely and efficiently.

RentWith offers tail lift van hire across the UK, covering both Luton box vans and large panel vans with hydraulic tail lift systems. Our tail lift vehicles are regularly serviced and safety-checked, and each lift platform is rated to carry between 500 and 1,000 kilograms depending on the specific vehicle. This capacity covers the vast majority of household and commercial loading requirements — including white goods, heavy machinery, commercial catering equipment, and pallets.

Tail lift hire is extremely popular with removal companies, and for good reason. Anyone who has carried a chest of drawers, a three-seater sofa, a fridge-freezer, or a washing machine in and out of a van more than once will appreciate the speed and safety that a tail lift provides. For professional removal teams, a tail lift also allows the work to be completed more quickly and with fewer people — making it a sound investment in any move where heavy or bulky items are involved.

Small businesses that make regular deliveries of heavy goods — trade suppliers, equipment hire companies, catering wholesalers — find tail lift hire invaluable when a permanent tail lift vehicle would not be justified full-time. Hiring for the specific days or periods when deliveries are heavy keeps costs proportionate and ensures you always have the right vehicle for the task at hand.

Event hire and exhibition work is another common application. Moving exhibition stands, staging, sound equipment, and display materials benefits enormously from a tail lift — these items are often large, heavy, and expensive, and loading them by hand risks both damage and personal injury.

All tail lift hire vehicles come with a brief operational guide at the point of collection. The tail lift is straightforward to use, but our team will run through the procedure at handover to ensure you are comfortable. Breakdown cover and assistance are included on all hire agreements.
