4.2 Trailer and Body Preparation
In order to install the ILSL liftgate a minimum space is required to be clear of any interference with the
trailers OEM equipment. Most of this equipment can be relocated to a different area of the trailer. In some
cases equipment is fixed and cannot be relocated due to regulatory requirements. When instances of fixed
equipment arise, the installation will vary in terms of positioning of the liftgates platform and minor
adjustments to the platform could be required.

1. The ILSL liftgate is designed to be installed in a position centered to the door opening. Prepare the
trailer chassis for installation by clearing a minimum of 90” (7.5 ft.) centered to the door opening. If
the trailer is equipped with gas tanks, battery boxes, storage boxes, etc., make sure to relocate any
interfering equipment to a different area on the trailer. Modifications must be in accordance with the
chassis manufactures recommendations.

5.1 Installation

IMPORTANT!!!
• A proper preparation of the trailer is essential for a safe, effective and efficient installation process and
assures proper function of the liftgate without damage to the trailer or liftgate.

Never work under mount frame or platform without safety supports.

It is recommended to park the trailer on a flat leveled ground prior to

beginning installation.
While lifting the gate into the mounting position make sure it does not
contact chassis components such as frame cross members, wiring, fluid
or air lines. Chassis component such as cross members may have to be modified or removed
to accommodate the push-pull cylinders and bracket. Any modifications must be done in
accordance with chassis manufacturer’s recommendations.

1. Using the Installation Drawing provided by Palfinger Liftgates, refer to the drawing for critical
dimensions. Use the dimensions from the Installation Drawing to position the gate. NOTE: All
dimensions shall be taken from the door side of the trailer.

2. After confirming dimensions, use a forklift or similar equipment to position the liftgate assembly
underneath the trailer. Raise the forklift arms carefully until the sub-frame tubes of the liftgate meet
the trailer cross members. Make sure no hoses or cables are wedged between the sub-frame tubes
and cross members.

5. After all electrical requirements have been installed, continue with the installation.
6. From stored position use the Slide Out switch on the control box. A stop bolt has been positioned in
the front of the rail as a safety precaution to prevent the sliding plates from exiting the rails. The stop
bolt will be adjusted later in the installation.

7. Slide out the entire gate until the sliding plates meet the stop bolt. Use the Lift Down turn knob on the
control box to lower the platform to the ground. Unfold the platform tip manually. Do not apply a
load to the platform during installation.

Rev. 1.2 - 17 -
ILSL 33/44 Installation Manual

8. Place a piece of channel flush on the floor that extends out the door and serves as a guide for the
platform. Use the Lift Up turn switch on the control box until the platform meets the side of the
trailers door opening. If initially, the platform does not align with the floor, use the Slide turn knob to
slide the mount tube back slowly until the platform is flush with the vehicles floor. Make sure there is
no interference with the vehicle body, hoses, cables, lift arm, or other components. Never use the
slide knob on a loaded platform.

9. With liftgate in the raised position and the platform flushed with the channel, remove the stop bolt
and choose the hole that is closest to the sliding mount plate inside the slider rail. Install the bolt into
one of the six holes and tie down. Both rails shall have the bolt in the same hole so the sliding plates
stop at the same point. NOTE: If finer tuning is required, add a piece of round tube inside the rail to
tighten the distance between the screw and slide plate.

5.2 Installation (Custom)

A custom installation is when the liftgate needs to be “customized” to fit the design of the trailer. A few
different factors contribute to a custom ILSL installation. OEM equipment, sill design, and door design are
some of the main factors that contribute to a custom installation. Dimensions of these factors are to be
recorded on the Side Loader Dimension Sheet seen in page 9 in this manual and provided to Palfinger
Liftgates for better understanding of the trailer design. In return, Palfinger Liftgates utilizes this information
to develop an installation drawing based on the recorded dimensions. The drawing shall be reviewed
carefully and understood prior to beginning installation. Any issues or concerns should be addressed with
Palfinger’s Technical Support Team.

1. Verify the sill design. The sill design will be based on the type of trailer. Vans, reefers, and flatbeds
will all have different sill designs. A ‘stepped’, ‘tapered’ and ‘flat’ are some of the more common sills
in the industry, but other sill designs exists.

Floor Floor Floor

Surface Surface Surface

Tapered Stepped
Flush

2. The liftgates platform is intended to provide a smooth ‘bridge’ between the sill (floor) and platform
main without any large gaps that may cause rolling equipment to stop in the transition. Stepped and
tapered sills tend to leave a gap between the standard platform and floor. In many occasions the
gap can be completely closed if not minimized.

4. To achieve gap minimization, either trimming or adding of material to the main section of the platform
will be required. The sill and door designs will also dictate how much material will be trimmed in
order to close the gap between the sill and the platform main. Measure the door thickness from the
outside of the trailer to the outside of the open door, this amount measured must be trimmed off the
platform in order to have the platform minimize the gap between the sill and platform. The opposite
side (opposite to the door side) may also require to be trimmed. Each trim must be reinforced for
strength.

5.3 Platform Storage Up-Stops

- Platform Storage Up-Stops MUST be installed to avoid damage to the platform when the vehicle is
traveling.
- The up-stops must be mounted high enough and welded to the trailer cross members so that they do not
interfere with the mainframe tube.
- Rubber bumper should make contact with the Alumimum Tip section 1-1/2“ below steel slide rails.
- The up-stops must not be causing any inference with any parts of the liftgates.
- The main pin and lift cylinder hoses must clear the up stop when the gate slides out.

5.4 Liftarm Up-Stops

- Lift arm up-stops are highly recommended to prevent damage to the vehicles body and the platform over
time.
- The up stop must be mounted high enough so that they do not make contact with the mainframe tube but
must stop the lift arm at the point where the platform will meet the floor.
- Due to a large variation between each liftgate installation, up stops will vary in design and will
need to be fabricated to the liftgates requirements. Below is an example of a custom fabricated up
stop with a piece of square tube and two pieces of flat bar with a C-channel. The C-Channel must be
welded to a minimum of three trailer cross members for best support.

Functional Description of Hydraulics Schematic

7.1.1 Slide Out Function

• As soon as the Motor starts to run, valve S8 is energized.
• Oil pressure exits pump and motor under pressure to A + B ports on push pull cylinder.
• The surface at the end of the piston rod on input “B” is larger than on the shaft at input “A”.
• This creates a stronger force at the piston rod (“B”) than at the shaft (“A”).
• This factor forces the cylinder to extend.
• The lift gate will slide out to the end of the rails.

7.1.2 Lower Down

• The solenoid release valves S1 and S2 at the cylinders get energized.
• The gate is designed to lower down by gravity. It will push the hydraulic oil out of the lift cylinder
into the reservoir. The oil passes the solenoid release valves S1 and S2.

7.1.3 Lift Up Function

• Motor starts running oil pressure exits pump and motor to the release valves S1 and S2 are forces
the fulid to push the lift cylinders to extend. The platform raises up.

7.1.4 Slide In Function

• Motor starts running and S7 valve is energized.
• The Oil pressure exits pump and motor under pressure to input “A” at the cylinder.
• The energized valve S7 is allowing the oil at the bottom of the piston rod to get back through the
S5 into the reservoir.
• The pressure on the end of the shaft will force the piston rod to retract. The liftgate will slide in
under the body.

7.2.1 Slide Out Function

• As soon as the Motor starts to run, valve S8 is energized.
• Oil pressure on input “A” sets exits “Av” and Bv” at the valve block under pressure.
• The surface at the end of the piston rod on input “B” is larger than on the shaft at input “A”.
• This creates a stronger force at the piston rod (“B”) than at the shaft (“A”).
• This factor forces the cylinder to extend.
• The lift gate will slide out to the end of the rails.

7.2.2 Lower Down

• The shift valve S5 at the pump and the solenoid release valves S1 and S2 at the cylinders will get
energized. In addition the leaking down stop valve S11 in the back of the mount frame is also
energized.
• The gate is designed to lower down by gravity. It will push the hydraulic oil out of the lift cylinder
into the reservoir. The oil passes the solenoid release valves S1 and S2. It also has to pass the
energized S11 valve in the back of the mount frame and the shift valve S5 at the pump.

7.2.3 Lift Up Function

• Motor starts running and double locking release valves S1 and S2 are energized.
• The pressure is on input “A” at the valve block. The oil passes the S11 valve and sets pressure on
exit “AH”.
• The energized double locking release valves S1 and S2 forces the fluid to push the lift cylinders to
extend. The platform raises up.

7.2.4 Slide In Function

• Motor starts running and S7 valve is energized.
• Oil pressure on input “A” sets pressure on exits “Av” at the valve block.
• The Oil pressure on exit “Av” at the valve block sets pressure on input “A” at the cylinder.
• The energized valve S7 is allowing the oil at the bottom of the piston rod to get back through the
S5 into the reservoir.
• The pressure on the end of the shaft will force the piston rod to
retract. The liftgate will slide in under the body.
