Boom lift specialist Genie has introduced a new safety accessory that alerts when an operator disconnects the breakaway cable located near the platform control panel.
The Genie Lift Guard Contact Alarm features an activation cable fitted above the boom lifts platform control panel. When pressure is applied to the cable, it disconnects and activates the system.
When the system is activated, all machine lift and drive functions are stopped to prevent additional movement in the platform, as well as an alarm sounds and beacons flash, notifying everyone near the Genie boom lift that the operator may require assistance.
The Genie Lift Guard Contact Alarm system is available from the factory or as an aftermarket kit, which can easily be installed in less than 30 minutes with only a few fasteners and electrical harness connectors.
This accessory is configured as a standard accessory on most new Genie Z (articulated) and S (telescopic) boom lifts.
