EQSS OverWatch
EQSS OverWatch is an innovative safety system designed as an aid to the operator. The system does not replace operator training and works on the premise of detecting the operator’s position and movements, with respect to the scissor lift’s direction of movement in real time, which in turn is used to determine if a crushing or shearing event is about to occur. EQSS OverWatch determines this by the physical movements and position of the operator’s body, with respect to the platform control box.
The system continuously measures the operator’s position, acceleration and velocity and should a potentially dangerous situation be detected it will trigger and cut the machine operation keeping the operator safe.

STANDING POSITION
OverWatch will not allow control of the machine functions if the operator is not in position.
CRUSH EVENT CUTOUT
OverWatch will detect a crush event when the platform is in elevate mode and the operator becomes pressed against the platform handrail and an object above. Operation will cutout and the operator will be disabled from elevating further. The operator can override to regain control and move out of danger.
OverWatch will alert others of a detected incident.
SHEAR EVENT CUTOUT
OverWatch will detect a shear event when the platform is in drive mode and the operator is struck by a stationary object.
Operation will cutout and the operator will be prevented from driving further. The operator can regain control by moving back into position or by overriding the system.
OverWatch will alert others of a detected incident.
As an additional safety component, EQSS OverWatch is currently only available on certain models at Duralift.
