Reduces trap injury potential

Occasionally, operators of mobile
elevating work platforms can become
trapped between the machine and
surrounding objects, forcing their
torso on to the controls. In extreme
cases, this can result in sustained
involuntary operation of the
machine’s controls. Niftylift
responded to this risk by developing
the SiOPS (Sustained Involuntary
Operation Prevention System).

The SiOPS control panel is
integral to the cage and equipped to
detect any significant load on the
platform’s controls or console. If a
load is detected the foot pedal and
enable button are instantly
deactivated, temporarily interrupting
all machine movement. As SiOPS
reacts instantly when it senses the
operator being forced onto the
controls, it also eliminates the
operator reaction time, greatly
reducing the potential for trap injury.
