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.
