This information allows fleet owners to take quick action and keep the fleet running efficiently.

Q: Will this monitor if the user does not connect their lanyard to the anchor point?  Will it record when the operator trips the lift guard?

A: Thanks for your question. The Genie® Lift Connect™ system does not currently sense if a lanyard is attached or not. Where we have CAN based control systems, like our large booms over 80 feet, most of our new XC machines and our machines with plus 1 control systems (Z33, Z40 and Z60FE) we do report the secondary guard status.
