Common Leyman Parts That Fail
Keep your fleet running by watching out for these common Leyman failure points:
- Toggle Switches: External toggle switches are often exposed to road salt, causing corrosion and failure.
- Motor Solenoids: The most common cause of a “clicking” sound without movement is a burnt-out solenoid.
- Hydraulic Lines: Rubber hoses can crack over time due to weather and flexing, leading to fluid leaks.
- Platform Springs: Broken torsion springs make the platform dangerously heavy to fold and unfold manually.
- Ground Connections: Rust on the chassis ground point often causes intermittent electrical power loss.

FAQs: Leyman Liftgate Repair
What kind of oil does a Leyman liftgate use?
Leyman generally recommends Mil-5606 hydraulic fluid or Dexron III ATF, depending on the specific model and climate.
Why is my Leyman liftgate going down slowly?
Slow lowering is often caused by a clogged flow control valve or the use of hydraulic fluid that is too thick for cold weather.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency service for Leyman lifts?
Yes, we have mobile repair trucks ready 24/7 to serve Chicago, Indiana, and Wisconsin.
Can you rebuild a leaking Leyman cylinder?
Absolutely. We can disassemble, hone, and re-seal most hydraulic cylinders for significantly less than the cost of a new one.
Why won’t my liftgate latch properly?
Latch issues are usually caused by bent latch pins, broken springs, or lack of lubrication. We can fix this quickly on-site.
