  • Publication number: 20190092613
    Abstract: A fall arresting/prevention safety protection device for aerial lifts that delivers notifications and warnings to individuals who are subject to accidental falls or other safety hazards when performing construction or the like or when operating elevating construction machinery such as aerial lift work platforms, bucket trucks and similar type elevating work platforms. The invention further provides a load sensor that when activated transmits an emergency signal to operators, supervisors and emergency personnel. The present invention further provides a remote control to access and control movement of the aerial lift through a wireless transmission in the event the lift operator falls out of or is ejected from the bucket or work platform.

  • Publication number: 20150217981
    Abstract: A fall arresting/prevention warning device that interfaces with one or more sensors that may be non-invasive and not interfere with normal operation of an aerial lift. The sensors detect movement of an aerial lift work platform and warn the operator when movement of the aerial lift is detected in order to have the operator verify that safety precautions have been taken to safely operate the aerial lift. The warning device may further detect movement of the aerial lift and simultaneously receive signals from one or more detection sensors of safety devices mounted to the vehicle, boom, work platform, or operator to verify safe operation of the aerial lift and provide a warning to the operator only when the proper operational status of a safety device is not detected, reinforcing the necessity to adhere to safety precautions when operating the aerial lift.
