Elevated Work Platform (EWP) Automation & Remote Control Solutions

Smarter Control. Safer Heights. Built for Demanding Construction Environments.

Elevated Work Platforms (EWPs) are essential to modern construction, used in everything from high-rise glazing to maintenance access and structural installs. But as height increases, so does the risk. With limited visibility and precision needed in every move, control systems must go beyond traditional tethered panels.

We deliver advanced, wireless remote control systems for EWPs, giving operators freedom of movement, enhanced visibility, and real-time response. Our solutions are powered by Tele Radio, a global leader in industrial radio control, and tailored to the unique safety and functionality demands of the Australian construction industry.

Why Automate Elevated Work Platforms?

EWPs operate in dynamic environments where visibility, stability, and quick reaction times are essential. Traditional wired controls or outdated panels can compromise safety, increase operator fatigue, and delay response times.

Remote-controlled and automated EWPs from Telemation offer:

  • Wireless mobility and safety – Control your platform from a distance or optimal vantage point

  • Diagnostic feedback – Identify faults and monitor system health in real time

  • Custom logic interlocks – Prevent unsafe operations like lifting on slope or overload

  • Optimised hydraulic and electric control – Smooth, responsive movements under load

Key Features of Telemation’s EWP Automation Systems

Smart Hydraulic Control

Automate lift, lower, rotation, and extension with programmable control logic. Our systems integrate with hydraulic valves and sensors to deliver:

  • Consistent lift speeds

  • Controlled descent with load sensing

  • Fine-tuned horizontal extension

  • Anti-bounce and platform stabilisation functions

Real-Time Monitoring and HMI Displays

Operators receive live data from onboard sensors via rugged displays like the CCpilot VA or VI, including:

  • Platform height and boom angle

  • Tilt sensors and stability data

  • Battery/hydraulic health indicators

  • Error codes, alerts, and safety lockouts

Built-In Safety Interlocks

Automation includes full integration of:

  • Tilt detection and auto-lock when working outside of safe slope conditions

  • Overload protection and platform limiters

  • Emergency shutdown and fail-safe protocols

This ensures compliance with AS/NZS safety standards for elevated work and reduces human error in high-risk zones.

Optional Remote and Wireless Access

Combine your automated control system with remote transmitters (e.g. Tele Radio Tiger or Puma) or Smart Connect IoT modules for:

  • Wireless platform positioning

  • Fault alerting to remote maintenance teams

  • Secure operation in confined or hazardous environments

Applications for Automated EWPs

Our solutions are fully customisable for all platform types, including:

  • Telescopic and articulated boom lifts

  • Rough terrain and indoor scissor lifts

  • Trailer-mounted or spider lifts

  • Vehicle-integrated aerial platforms

  • Maintenance and inspection access platforms

We support OEM-level integration or retrofit upgrades for existing fleets.

Benefits of EWP Automation with Telemation

  • Increased safety with system-enforced limits

  • Lower maintenance costs via predictive alerts

  • Improved operator control and user experience

  • Greater efficiency and reduced wear on hydraulics

  • Seamless integration into OEM or retrofit equipment

  • Full compliance with local and international EWP regulations
