This product presents a high risk of injuries due to the green auto-tilt lever. This lever operates a hydraulic ram to raise and tilt the slide bed during deployment. When the Green Lever is released, the bed does not hold in the raised position and falls under its own weight back to the chassis. The tilt system is also not fitted with devices to prevent a gravity fall or uncontrolled movement in the event of hydraulic failure. A risk of serious injury to operators and other persons may arise from impact with the slide bed, or from crushing between the slide bed and vehicle chassis and other fixed structures such as storage lockers.
This product does not meet safety standards.
