Moving Platform & Lift Safety

Safety Solutions for Active Equipment Zones

Moving platforms, scissor lifts, and elevating workstations bring efficiency to plant operations—but also create serious risk zones. Entrapment, falls, and pinch injuries are common hazards when systems lack reliable detection and stop controls.

Miller Edge offers integrated sensing components that trigger control systems upon contact or presence detection—helping your team create safer, smarter solutions for personnel transport and automation equipment.

Common Applications

  • Scissor lifts and platform lifts
  • Lift-assisted access to elevated machinery
  • Transfer platforms for part movement
  • Elevating operator workstations
