In the field of modern aerial work, the technological innovation of hydraulic scissor lifts has always revolved around the two core needs of operational safety and operational efficiency. The latest industry standards require that the equipment must be integrated with active safety protection systems, such as:
Dynamic speed control
When the platform rises to more than 2.5 meters, the intelligent controller automatically limits the horizontal movement speed (such as the CURTIS system), fundamentally avoiding the risk of rollover caused by the increase in the center of gravity;
Multiple anti-rollover mechanisms
Through real-time monitoring by the tilt sensor, once the equipment tilts more than 5° on the slope, it triggers the global lock and stops the travel and lifting functions simultaneously.
Three-dimensional collision protection
The retractable protection beam automatically unfolds to form a physical barrier when the platform rises, effectively defending against the impact of obstacles from the side, and intelligently retracts to avoid interference when descending;
The basic design of the equipment also follows strict industrial specifications:
The high-traction tire system uses large-diameter elastic rubber material. On the premise of ensuring zero damage to the ground, it increases the adhesion of wet and slippery ground by increasing the contact area;
The hydrostatic drive architecture realizes vector control through dual independent universal wheels, giving the equipment the ability to complete precise steering in a narrow channel of 1.5 meters, completely solving the control problem of traditional equipment in confined spaces.
Industry data shows that such technology upgrades have reduced the accident rate by more than 40%. Currently, standards such as EU EN280 and US ANSI/SAIA A92.20 have mandatory requirements for anti-rollover and speed interlock systems, and China's GB/T 3811-2023 has also added dynamic protection clauses. Future technology development will focus on sensor fusion (such as radar + machine vision) and predictive protection to further enhance safety assurance under complex working conditions.
