ABSTRACT

A system includes a user interface, a first lift vehicle, and a second lift
vehicle. The first lift vehicle includes a first work platform. The second
lift vehicle includes a base, a second work platform, a lift assembly coupled
between the base and the work platform, a lift actuator coupled to the lift
assembly and configured to raise and lower the second work platform relative
to the base, at least one tractive element, and a controller in communication
with the user interface. The controller is configured to receive, from the
user interface, a first control signal to lift the second work platform to a
position proximate the first work platform, and instruct the lift actuator to
raise the second work platform to the position proximate the first work
platform.
