A lift device includes a lift assembly, a platform, and a controller. The lift assembly is configured to be driven to increase or decrease in length by extension and retraction of one or more actuators. The platform is coupled at an upper end of the lift assembly. The controller is configured to receive a value of a pitch angle and a roll angle of the lift device from an orientation sensor. The controller is further configured to determine a maximum allowable elevation of the platform based on at least one of the value of the roll angle and the value of the pitch angle of the lift device. The controller is further configured to limit operation of the lift assembly based on the maximum allowable elevation of the platform.

Systems and methods for limiting operation of a lift device

Systems and apparatuses include a control box for a movable work platform. The control box includes a housing and a display supported by the housing. The housing is defined by a first side panel and a second side partially surrounding and extending from a lower enclosure to an upper enclosure spaced apart from the lower enclosure. At least one of the upper enclosure and the lower enclosure supports a control panel having a plurality of inputs. At least one of the inputs is a platform positioning mechanism in communication with a lift system configured to move the work platform vertically between a stowed position and a deployed position. The display is supported by the housing and is in communication with at least one of the plurality of inputs. The display is configured to receive and present output obtained by a sensor monitoring a parameter of the work platform.
