A commercial liftgate power unit that incorporates “smart” technology, including the ability to record key operating data and control unit performance in low-voltage and/or high-temperature conditions has been produced by Leyman Lift Gates.

The new MaintenanceMinder² power unit, available on each of Leyman's gates, helps fleets measure and record liftgate performance and operating data while protecting the gate from potentially damaging conditions. MaintenanceMinder² includes a backlit LCD that indicates key data during operation, with no need for a separate, hand-held reader.

This power unit can simultaneously store the number of low-voltage cycles, high-temperature operations, number of overweight/over-pressure operations, number of lifts/cycles, and total run time on motor. It also includes automatic low-voltage and high-temperature cutoffs with audible warning. This unit also can be programmed to alert the user when scheduled maintenance is due and record when the work is performed.

MaintenanceMinder² units are offered with these models: FDC Series Foldavador, FBG Series Foldavador, TLS Series Hide-A-Way, LHLP Series Hide-A-Way, and STG Series Hide-A-Way. For complete details, contact Leyman, 10900 Kenwood Rd, Cincinnati OH 45242.
