Xwatch Safety Solutions has introduced a new safety system for mobile elevating work platforms.
The new tech, called 'XW MEWP', is designed to enhance safety and prevent operator injuries - particularly those related to being crushed against ceilings or coming into contact with live cables and other overhead hazards.
The system is compatible with various MEWPs, including scissor lifts, boom lifts and truck mounts. It features a sophisticated height and slew limitation control that prevents the MEWP from breaching safe operational boundaries.
A key feature of this technology is its fail-safe automatic operation. In the event of a control system failure, the MEWP defaults to a secure state, mitigating the risk of accidents. This feature allows more access to the system’s functions, simplifying the operational process and reducing the need for extensive control system training.
Continuous monitoring of the machine's highest points enhances safety by preventing contact with overhead obstacles. The system's ability to provide full power for moving away from a limit is critical for swiftly and safely managing potentially hazardous situations. The controlled motion technology also ensures stability and precision when the MEWP is extended to high elevations.
An optional chassis sensor further enhances the safety features by correcting for terrain slope, ensuring stability and level operation even on uneven ground. This adaptability is vital for outdoor use where ground conditions are unpredictable, enhancing safety across various environments. The new Xwatch system is approved for rail use too.
