Abstract

A lift device includes a chassis, a platform, a lift assembly coupling the platform to the chassis, an actuator, a sensor assembly, and a controller. The sensor assembly includes a bar including a first end portion coupled to the platform and a second end portion opposite the first end portion, a receiver positioned to receive the second end portion of the bar, and a sensor configured to detect at least one of (a) the second end portion of the bar contacting the sensor or (b) the second end portion of the bar exiting the receiver. The controller is operatively coupled to the sensor and the actuator and configured to control the actuator based on a signal from the sensor.
