Stupid question, I’ve just gotten to a drop and can’t figure out the tail lift.
The red safety key is there, but nothing is happening. I’m assuming there’s another isolation switch somewhere or in the cab? Strallis?
Could be a small unmarked switch on the dashboard.
Some need you to hold one switch to an ON position with one hand while you operate the up/down joystick with the other hand.
Failing that, phone the office.
From memory some you need to hold the centre switch down at the same time as the up/down or tilt (if that type) buttons, as necessary.
Lesson being, find out if it works and how to use it before departure, but you know that now…

As said do you have an Anderson lead and have you plugged it in to unit and trailer.

Lots of different tail lfit controls pal, so we can be only limited help.
Plus it’s probably a bit late now! 
But from my experience a popular one is is a know you twist left or right (can’t remember) and use the joystick at the same time…
Ahem, it turns out there’s a super secret cable called the Anderson cable…

Er - so how did you manage to check for correct/safe operation of the tail lift before you left the yard…?

And did you remember to disconnect the lead after use? 
Or is it now somewhere between that drop and base?
As others have said, ancillary equipment should be part of your daily checks when you take over use of a vehicle.
The best place to find out something doesn’t work is while you’re still in the yard. Even checking that the pump truck that the loaders were kind enough to put on before they closed the doors will actually lift a pallet or the sack barrow that was the only spare one left doesn’t have a flat tyre.

Nah, it’ll be creating a shower of sparks where the ripped ends are shorting off the chassis.

As well as one that doesn’t require an Anderson lead! 
But Glen is right, most yards have a few ‘agency only’ pump trucks!
