Tail lift installation for GAZelle NEXT is a turnkey service provided by our company in Nizhny Novgorod and other cities across Russia. We manufacture tail lifts ourselves, which allows us to select a model that matches the specifications of a particular vehicle and the needs of your business, from light urban deliveries to regular routes involving heavy loads.
We handle the entire process, from measurements and equipment selection to delivering a fully equipped vehicle with a complete set of documents.
Why Install a Tail Lift on a GAZelle NEXT?
A tail lift eliminates much of the manual handling involved in loading and unloading, making commercial transport more efficient. After installation, the vehicle owner benefits from:
- loading and unloading without a loading dock or a separate team of loaders;
- the ability for one driver to handle heavy and bulky loads;
- a lower risk of goods being damaged during handling;
- more delivery stops per shift;
- unloading at warehouses and other locations without a ramp.
For GAZelle NEXT vehicles with Euro-style box bodies or flatbed configurations, a tail lift is a practical solution that can reduce labour costs and save time from the first months of operation. The benefits are particularly noticeable on daily routes, where each loading operation takes minutes rather than half an hour.
What We Consider When Selecting Equipment
Choosing the right model is essential for reliable and safe operation. Before installation, our specialists assess:
- lifting capacity: for most GAZelle NEXT applications, a 750 kg or 1,000 kg platform is sufficient;
- body type: flatbed, curtain-side or insulated box body. We do not install tail lifts on GAZelle NEXT panel vans with an all-metal body;
- the condition and length of the chassis frame, including whether reinforcement or modification is required;
- body dimensions and the width of the rear opening;
- the type of cargo and the expected intensity of use.
After inspecting the vehicle, we recommend a suitable model from our catalogue or manufacture a custom tail lift. All platforms are made from aluminium alloy. They are lighter than comparable steel platforms and help preserve the vehicle’s available payload capacity.
How the Installation Process Works
The work is carried out at our own service centre according to an established procedure:
- Vehicle inspection and measurements.
- Selection and approval of the tail lift model.
- Preparation of the chassis frame and installation of mounting components.
- Installation of the platform and connection of the hydraulic and electrical systems.
- Several load-testing cycles to verify correct operation.
- Preparation of documents required to register the vehicle modification.
The entire process usually takes one working day. The GAZelle NEXT can return to service without a lengthy period of downtime, and we show the driver how to operate the tail lift correctly and safely.
What Determines the Price?
The exact price of a tail lift for a GAZelle NEXT, including installation, is calculated after the vehicle has been inspected and a suitable model has been selected. The final cost depends on:
- the tail lift model and lifting capacity;
- the amount of preparatory work required on the chassis frame;
- the selected configuration and additional options.
As the manufacturer, we offer equipment and installation without intermediary mark-ups associated with imported products. Our manager prepares an estimate in advance, with no hidden charges or unexpected items added to the final invoice.
Why Professional Installation Matters
A tail lift operates under significant loads. Installation errors can cause platform misalignment, accelerated wear of the hydraulic system and risks to operators and other people nearby.
Our technicians install the equipment with precise fitting of all mounting components, correct routing of the hydraulic system and mandatory operational testing.
We provide a 24-month warranty on both the equipment and the installation work. After the warranty period, we continue to service the equipment at our own service centre. Diagnostics, repairs and spare parts are available whenever required.
