Lifting equipment programs rarely stand still. OEMs are asked to support new options, machine sizes, rental-fleet expectations, operator feedback, remote visibility, regulatory or customer requirements, and more advanced control strategies without creating a new electrical system every time. HED helps OEMs build a CAN-based architecture that can scale across equipment families and adapt through software, configuration, and modular hardware instead of repeated hardwire redesign.

A scalable CAN backbone helps OEMs adapt lifting platforms without repeated redesign. Use a shared CAN backbone to connect operator input, machine logic, I/O, displays, sensors, telematics, and controlled lift functions.
- Adapt feature behavior through software and configuration rather than redesigning hardware for every machine option or customer request.
- Scale control strategies across boom lifts, scissor lifts, cranes, telehandlers, forklifts, and specialty lifting platforms with less architecture disruption.
- Improve machine-state visibility for operators, technicians, and OEM support teams as features become more complex.
Future-ready lifting equipment starts with architecture that can evolve. HED helps OEMs move from one-off electrical designs toward scalable machine-control platforms that support today’s functions and tomorrow’s upgrades with less redesign.
