MEWP with Integrated SiOPS Technology

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

This contractor integrated Sustained Involuntary Operation Prevention System (SiOPS) on MEWP’s which reacts instantly when it senses the operator being forced onto the controls. By removing the operator reaction time SiOPS greatly reduces the potential for trap injury.

This is integrated into the machine rather than retrofitted like most anti-entrapment devices. This eliminates sustained involuntary operation by instantly interrupting all machine movement if an operator is pushed against the cage controls and addresses a known contributing factor in trapping incidents and gives the operator a vital second chance.

A retro-fitted device can be disabled or interfered with. This integrated safety feature cannot be easily disabled and mitigates against inadvertent machine movement, lowering the risk of more severe injuries.
