[VIDEO] How Genie's Lift Guard System Protects Users from Crushing Hazards

A key feature of the new system is the “free-movement zone” between an activation cable and platform control panel that may allow for operator mobility once the system is activated, to either reset the system or remove themselves from the hazard.

Mar 2, 2017

Genie's Lift Guard Contact Alarm System is designed to alert ground personnel when an operator makes contact with the platform control panel, interrupting boom movement, sounding an alarm and flashing a warning light. The system is designed to be unobtrusive, featuring an activation cable fitted above the boom lift’s control panel.
