SAFETY SYSTEMS DEVELOPED WITH AEROSPACE COMPANY

A premier aerospace company contacted us a year ago about developing enhanced safety systems for  scissor lifts used in paint, prep and maintenance.  The requirements were as follows:
  • Protect operator against aircraft pinch points
  • Protect aircraft from structural damage

A touch sensitive padded railing system was developed that automatically stops movement when encountering contact. The system covers the following locations:

  • Top perimeter (top front and side contact)
  • Rear vertical rails (rear and side contact)
  • Extendable deck (bottom and side contact)

As a final test our President lends his hand to check the full speed raise into a beam. The Project Engineer kept his job and was actually given a raise!                                 


MLE RECEIVES PATENT NO. 7,004,285 FOR LOAD SENSING SYSTEM
With the need for increased productivity and platform load carrying capabilities, our Quad Lifter product offers up to 3000# platform capacity, which is unmatched in the industry. To safely lift these heavy loads, we developed our own load sensing system that is unaffected by platform load position or angular rotation. Our High Capacity lifts incorporate this safety system along with boom length and angle sensors which will automatically stop any motion that would cause a potential unsafe situation.

The platform load sensing system information is fed back to the operator with a display that identifies the following:

  • Platform Capacity
  • Actual Load in Platform

This safety system goes well beyond what other systems provide by not allowing operators to overload the platform.
