Abstract
Actuator and control circuits for tailgate lifts of the type which lift and lower loads in a lifting mode and which fold in a folding (closing) mode. Control circuitry is provided which minimizes the risk of inadvertent folding of the gate when loaded. The circuitry can also be adapted to limit the lifting capacity of the actuator to the lifting of a safe load.
