ILD FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONMost Common Problems
Possible Cause Remedy
Cylinder making a squealing noise when platform is raised and lowered
Seals on the lifting cylinders are tight
Use Caterpillar additive. Start with 2 ounces, cycle liftgate 4-5 times. Add two ounces more at a time until noise stops. Max 8 ounces. If after 8 ounces the noise does not stop or diminish contact factory.
Cylinder making a squealing noise when platform is lowered only, with our without load.
Pressure to high on down Cycle
Lower the pressure on the down cycle to 500 psi or lower if necessary
Change the pressure compensating flow valve if reducing the down pressure does not work
Liftgate will raise but not lower or lowers slower than normal
Down valve getting less than 10 vdc when switch activated.
Test that batteries supplying power are fully charged and have reserve capacity. If not replace them
Power to coil but coil not magnetized. When power is on the coil a screw driver on the end of the valve will be pulled in like a magnet.
Replace Coil and Valve.
Coil is magnetized but valve not opening
Replace Coil and Valve
No power to coil Replace wire, switch or both after determining where the fault is.
Platform opens to slow
Orifice in the hydraulic close cylinder is blocked
Remove hoses at the hydraulic close cylinder, remove fitting on the hydraulic close cylinder and clean using a drill bit no larger than 1/64” in diameter.
Platform will not lock properly on both sides
Leaking cylinder on one side
Power platform all the way to the floor of the truck to re level it then lower it back into the locks.
Not enough oil in tank Test oil with platform at floor height
Add oil, Shipped with “America’s Choice Hydraulics RO-AW-LT32-ISO NG32. Alternative oils recommended are Dextron, automatic transmission fluid or Aircraft hydraulic fluid
Platform leaks Down More than 1” overnight
Is it the Right Side Replace cylinder on that side. Usually if the Right side leaks, the left side will hold firm. It may move slightly but not very much.
Is it the Left Side If the Left side comes down with the right side coming down much less, replace the LH cylinder
Both sides leak down evenly
Lock valve is defective, replace lock valve, ensure when lock valve is removed that no contamination is found in the valve.
If replacing lock valve does not work, and no contamination is found in the old valve, Change the cylinders.

The relay is used so that we can direct power to either the coil A or coil B and the motors solenoids to activate the motors without activating the “Lock Valve”.
ILD Liftgate trouble shooting guide 1.1) Check voltage minimum 10 volts at motor at by pass. 1.2) Motor does not run. Check motor solenoid. If it is getting power but you Do not hear click, you should change the motor solenoid. 1.3) If the motor solenoid is getting power and you can hear it click, replace motor. 2.1) Liftgate makes squealing noise:
a. Noise happens in both raising and lowering. Use Caterpillar additive 1U-9891. Start with 2 ounces, engage up switch to by-pass and hold for 30 seconds then cycle liftgate 4-5 times or until noise stops. Add two ounces more at a time until noise stops. Maximum 8 ounces. If after 8 ounces the noise does not stop or diminish contact factory.
b. Noise happens only when it’s lowering.
Lower the pressure on the down function. If lowering the pressure does not work, you will need to change the pressure compensating valve located on the top of the passengers side cylinder.
2.2) Liftgate will not raise:
a. Motor runs but nothing is happening or platform raises slow. Check your batteries. Batteries are not charged or weak. Recharge or replace batteries. Use a booster if necessary to rule out battery problems.
b. Check power on lock valve and lowering valve with up button activated. c. If you are getting power on the lowering valve and lock valve, replace the diode on the green wire. Lowering valve should not get power when raising platform. d. If you are getting power only to the lock valve: The lock valve should
have at least 10V. (It is Important to have volt meter to perform proper test). If valve has power to it, put your finger on the valve block while activating the switch and feel if the valve is actually switching. If it feels like it is but the
liftgate operates slow, put a booster on your batteries. If the booster solves the problem, check you batteries again, they are probably not holding a charge. If booster does not help, replace valve and coil.
e. If you are not getting power: Follow the schematic through to the switch to find, either the faulty wire that may be broken or a faulty switch. Usually, if this is a switch problem, one of the two switches will work fine. If both switches do not turn the liftgate on, then you probably have a broken wire inside the pump & motor box.
f. Motor runs but platform goes down when the up button is pressed.
Hoses are reversed where they connect to the power unit box. 3.1) Platform does not lower down
a. Motor does not run. If it is not getting power, follow the schematic through wiring to check for power to the switch to find either the faulty wire that may be broken or a faulty switch. Usually if this is a switch problem one of the two switches will work fine. If both switches do not run the liftgate down, then you probably have a broken wire.
b. Motor runs but platform does not move or moves slow.
Check power on both lock valve and lowering valve when switch’s are activated. Test first with each switch activated individually.
c. No power at coil. Determine by following the schematic diagram Bad switch or broken wire? Make sure master switch is on and circuit breakers are not tripped.
Note: There are diodes in some wires that may be faulty. If you have a wire with a diode in it, it is most likely is a bad diode. Replace it.
d. Lock valve has power and lowering valve has power.
If in your test for lowering, the gate raises fine but just will not lower, it most likely is a bad lower valve and coil. Feel the valve when activating switch. You should feel a pulse on the valve and hear it click. If you can’t feel the valve activate or hear a clicking, change the valve and coil. Holding a screw driver on the end while coil is activated should create a magnet and pull the screwdriver in. If it does not coil is bad replace it.
Pressure compensating valve is loose or contaminated. Located in right side lift cylinder, retighten or clean out.
3.2) Platform does not open or close. a. Motor does not run. Check motor solenoid. If it is getting power but you do not hear click, you should change the motor solenoid.
b. Motor Runs but platform does not move. Check power on both coils of open and close valve.
c. No power at coil.
Determine by following the schematic diagram. Bad switch or broken wire? Make sure master switch is on and circuit breakers are not tripped.
Note: There are diodes in some wires that may be faulty. If you have a wire
with a diode in it check for power flow to rule out a bad diode first.
e. Coil has power. If in your test the platform closes fine but will not open (or the opposite) either the one coil is bad or the valve. If coil is getting power you can reverse the two coils and try the function again. If the one coil is bad the opposite will happen. If the opposite does not happen replace the coils and valve. If the opposite does happen replace only the bad coil.
Fittings with orifices plugged
Hydraulic hose plugged Hydraulic pressure set to low
3.3) If the platform does not close:
a. Motor is running Check for power at the open valve/coil. When the switch for open/close is activated, there should be power at the coil.
If you have power and nothing happens try activating both up button and open button to check for power at the lock valve. You should not be getting power to the lock valve if the open switch is activated and the up button is activated.
If you have power on the lock valve the relay is not kicking in. Follow the Schematic to make sure the relay is kicking in to prevent power going to the lock valve. Change relay if it is faulty.
If you are not getting power to the lock valve when you press the up button change the valve and coils. If you do not have power, follow the schematic wiring diagram to check for possible broken wire. If after changing the valve it still does not work contact factory.
b. Motor not running Check motor solenoid. If it is getting power but you do not hear it clicking, you should change the motor solenoid. If it does not have power, follow the
schematic to find the broken wire or diode and repair as necessary. 3.4) Platform does not close. If platform opens fine but just will not close check for power at coil that activates the valve for opening. If it does not have power, follow the schematic to find the broken wire. Check also that the relay is functioning properly. Follow the schematic.
4.1) Platform opens or closes to slow.
The hydraulic cylinder that power closes and opens the platform has 90 degree fittings with orifices. Platform should be lowered to the ground and the fittings removed for inspection. The hole in the orifice should be no larger than 1/64”. A welding tip cleaner can be used to clean the hole out if it is contaminated.
5.1) Platform will not lock properly on both sides.
Power the liftgate platform up to the top before locking the platform. Hold the button at the top for 5-10 seconds to relevel the platform. Sometimes if the platform goes out of sync it may need to be relevelled at the top before it goes into the locks properly.
6.1) Platform leaks down.
Run platform to the top and hold the button for 30 seconds to bleed the system through, before determining if there is any leakage.
a. Does only one side leak down?
Yes: Replace cylinder on that one side where it is leaking. Some leaking overnight is normal. Contact factory before changing cylinder. No: Check lock valve. Lock valve may have dirt or contamination causing it to leak down. Lower platform to the ground, remove the lock valve and coil. Clean the valve and reinstall. If it still leaks down replace the lock valve.
7.1) Checking the Oil level in the Tank Always check the oil with the platform in the raised position at floor level. The oil level should be about 1” below the top of the filler or just visible in the sight glass.

Theory of Operation
The rail-type direct lift vertical liftgate is designed to lift cargo verticallyfrom the vehicle bed to the ground and vice versa. A hydraulic powerunit provides power to two vertical cylinders that raise and lower theplatform. Activation of a control switch supplies current from a 12-voltbattery to the hydraulic power unit. The hydraulic power unit in turnsupplies hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic cylinders, causing them toretract. The resultant upward pull on the sliders raises the platform.
The platform is lowered by hydraulic power. Activation of the controlswitch directs hydraulic fluid to extend the cylinder. The resultantdownward force on the sliders lowers the platform.
The platform opens and closes hydraulically. The platform is closed bydirecting hydraulic oil from the hydraulic power unit to the HydraulicPower Open and Close Cylinder, extending the cylinder. The platformopens hydraulically by directing hydraulic oil to the Hydraulic PowerOpen and Close Cylinder, retracting the Hydraulic Power Open andClose Cylinder.
