Lifting and moving

Lifting and moving controls must be highly responsive and tactile to answer the operator's every touch, yet tough enough to survive the harshest of environments. EAO's range of Human Machine Interface controls are suited to the wide range of potential applications within this market, from industrial hydraulic lifting equipment to home stair-lifts for the disabled.

Applications

EAO products are perfect for lifing and moving applications because they can be sealed up to IP67 against water intrusion and designed as flush mount for easy cleaning. This makes them perfect for rough-terrain vehicles like tractors, cranes and forklifts. Our emergency stops offer foolproof activation – essential for lifting equipment.

EAO products are perfect for ramp requests on public transport and also for tailgate ramps on the backs of articulated vehicles.

EAO’s products are both rugged and sensitive. EAO’s switches can be fitted with large actuating surfaces which require only a gentle push action to activate, making them ideal for disabled chair lifts which can be operated even by young children.
