Collision Avoidance Systems
Our Collision Avoidance Systems use laser sensors and intelligent zone mapping to automatically stop lift movement before impact, protecting personnel, equipment, and critical environments. Available for scissor and boom lifts, these systems reduce jobsite risk and costly downtime with configurable safety options.
Compact Equipment Protection
Basic Scissor System
Scans both sides from the platform, with sensors that move alongside the extension deck—protecting operators during forward reach.
Advanced Scissor System
Adds chassis-to-platform scanning with automatic zone adjustments based on height and platform extension, offering full-envelope protection.
Basic Boom System
Provides essential directional scanning and collision interruption in key zones, helping prevent operator contact during standard lift use.
Advanced Boom System
Ideal for high-risk applications, this system is typically retrofitted for a cost-effective upgrade and provides expanded zone coverage.
