retractable tail lift

Explanation:
Apparently, it's a retractable or sliding tail lift.

-> "Retractable Tail Lifts: ... Retractable lifts slide underneath the vehicle or trailer to allow them to back up to loading docks without obstruction. "
http://www.gray-adams.com/pagesdetail-121-130-37.html

-> "The retractable tail-lift F3RE is the ideal tail-lift for distribution vehicles due to its versatility, large platforms
and ease of use. The tail-lift is stowed away under the vehicle making it ideal for dock loading."

tuck-away tail lift

Explanation:
Laadklep is the generic term for a tail lift. There are various types of tail lifts, such as column lifts and platform lifts. The characteristic of an onderschuiflaadklep is that it is stowed by shoving it under the back of the lorry, i.e. "tucking it away".
