Reduce wiring complexity before it slows engineering, assembly, and service

As lifting equipment adds more operator features, sensors, interlocks, lighting, hydraulic or electric functions, cameras, telematics, and option packages, hardwired architecture grows one function at a time. That creates engineering burden, harness congestion, assembly variation, and more opportunities for wiring-related rework. HED helps OEMs simplify the machine architecture by using distributed I/O, CAN-based communication, rugged […]
Keep lift-critical functions available, visible, and easier to service

For lifting equipment OEMs, uptime depends on more than rugged hardware. Cranes, telehandlers, aerial lifts, forklifts, and access platforms rely on coordinated control of lift, lower, extend, retract, swing, tilt, stabilizer, outrigger, platform-position, attachment-state, and enable logic. HED helps OEMs move those critical functions into a more integrated control architecture where controllers, I/O, displays, CAN […]
Design for faster fault isolation before downtime reaches the jobsite

When lifting equipment is down, the cost is bigger than the repair. It can delay work, idle crews, disrupt rental availability, increase warranty friction, and damage customer confidence. Many service events become expensive because the machine does not clearly show what failed or where to look first. HED helps OEMs design diagnostics into the control […]
Build a controls platform that can evolve with every lift, crane, and telehandler program

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, […]
