The Worker Protection System II (WPS II) is an assistance system meant to reduce and/or prevent severe injuries to the operator.
Functioning
WPS II detects, during the lifting process, objects or persons in the hazard zone and stops the automatic lifting movement, if required. The emptying process can be continued manually afterwards.
The WPS II uses two different technologies to identify an object or a person that is too close to the container and/or is caught and lifted by the container.
An expert opinion on the installation and function of the Zoeller Worker Protection System II (WPS II) of TÜV Rheinland as of 27.08.2019 is available.
