Abstract

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.
