Common Palfinger Parts That Fail
Modern Palfinger gates are durable, but these specific components often require attention:
- Release Valve Coils: Magnetic coils on the cylinders can fail, causing the gate to stick in the “Up” position.
- Control Board (PCB): Moisture or short circuits can damage the main brain of the liftgate, requiring replacement.
- B-13 Solenoids: The motor start solenoid is a high-wear item that often causes clicking sounds without movement.
- Ground Straps: Poor chassis grounding is the #1 cause of slow lifting and low voltage codes.
- Handheld Remotes: Cords often get damaged or cut during daily operations.

FAQs: Palfinger Liftgate Repair
Why is my Palfinger liftgate flashing a green light?
A flashing light on the control board usually indicates a specific fault code. We can scan this code to tell you exactly what is wrong.
How do I reset my Palfinger liftgate?
You can often reset the system by unplugging the main power (J-1) or the J-11 connector on the board for 10 seconds.
Do you stock parts for older Interlift models?
Yes, since Palfinger acquired Interlift, we have access to the full legacy catalog of parts.
What fluid does a Palfinger liftgate take?
Most Palfinger systems require standard Anti-Wear (AW) 32 hydraulic fluid or ATF Dexron III, depending on the model.
Why won’t my Palfinger liftgate lower?
This is often caused by a faulty release valve coil or a broken wire in the harness preventing the “down” signal.
