Safety
Secondary Guarding Booms Summit Platforms offers an electronic secondary guarding device on all boom type MEWPs. Our devices are approved by the equipment manufacturers. They consist of a sensitive edge situated in front of the controls. When an entrapment situation is detected the sensitive edge acts as an emergency stop, preventing further entrapment from occurring. It also has an alarm and flashing beacon to attract the attention of colleagues on the ground who can enact the emergency lowering procedure.
Secondary Guarding Scissors Summit Platforms can provide a secondary
guarding and lift enable function for scissor lifts and vertical mast lifts. The system consists of a robust control box shroud providing additional guarding of controls, reducing the risk of unintended actuation and a secondary anti-tamper enable button located on the side of the control box. A two handed operation is required to lift, maintaining the operator’s body in an upright position and away from the handrails, mitigating the risk of entrapment. Both joystick and secondary enable button must be activated to allow the platform to lift; release of either will stop the function immediately.
Harness ON Harness ON™ is an intelligent anchor point that stops the MEWP’s operation until the operator attaches their harness carabiner. Harness ON™ is permanently shackled to the MEWPs anchor point and wired electronically into the MEWP’s function controls. This device meets EU and ANSI safety standards and is compatible with all machines.
