Franklin
Stabilizer
Safety System
An engineered hand placement solution designed to reduce pinch, crush, and entrapment exposure when scissor lifts operate near overhead obstructions. A designated placement point. A safer operator.
The Risk Is Above
the Operator
Scissor lift operators frequently work in tight areas directly beneath overhead obstructions. In those conditions, an operator may instinctively hold or brace against the top guardrail for balance and stability.
When the lift is elevated, repositioned, or maneuvered near overhead steel, ductwork, piping, electrical systems, or threaded rod, that hand becomes exposed to a pinch, crush, or entrapment hazard.
This is not simply an equipment issue. It is a jobsite planning, hazard recognition, training, and safe use issue. The exposure is well documented. What was missing was a practical, deployable solution.
- Structural steel beams and connections
- HVAC ductwork and mechanical systems
- Plumbing, piping, and sprinkler systems
- Electrical conduit and junction boxes
- Threaded rod and drop ceiling systems
- Concrete formwork and structural decking
- Temporary lighting and camera installations
- Low clearance environments in data centers and industrial facilities
A Practical Answer to
a Real Jobsite Risk
The Franklin Stabilizer Safety System provides an alternative, designated hand placement point intended to help operators avoid placing their hands on the top guardrail during work near overhead obstructions.
The system is designed to support safer scissor lift operation in active construction, industrial, data center, maintenance, and manufacturing environments. It addresses a documented hazard with a straightforward, deployable solution.
Providing the operator a better place to put their hand gives them a reason not to use the guardrail. That is the premise. That is the value.
to a severe problem.
Gives the operator a clearly defined alternative to the top guardrail in elevated, restricted work conditions.
Helps reduce hand placement exposure near overhead pinch, crush, and entrapment zones during normal lift operation.
Works alongside existing training, OSHA compliance programs, and employer procedures. It supplements; it does not replace.
Removable pressure fit installation. No drilling, welding, or cutting. No alteration to controls, electrical, hydraulic, or structural components.
Designed for Real World Use
Pressure fit method. No drilling, welding, cutting, or permanent alteration to the lift platform. Fully removable when the work scope changes.
Available in two configurations to support different scissor lift platform designs. Fitment review conducted before any deployment.
Guidance available for safety teams, contractors, rental companies, and equipment owners. Field discussions and pilot conversations are welcome.
Does not modify lift controls, electrical systems, hydraulic systems, or structural components. Manufacturer specifications are preserved entirely.
Each deployment is reviewed against lift model, platform configuration, jobsite conditions, and the employer's specific safety program requirements.
On site demonstrations, fitment reviews, and field discussions are available. Contact the team to discuss your project timeline and requirements.
To begin the review process, provide your scissor lift make and model, platform photographs, jobsite location, and project timeline. The Franklin Safety Group team will review the information and follow up to discuss deployment options directly.
What You Need to Know
No. The system uses a removable pressure fit installation method. It installs without drilling, welding, cutting, or permanently altering the lift in any way. No manufacturer specifications are affected.
No. The Franklin Stabilizer supports safer hand placement practices but does not replace training requirements, manufacturer operating instructions, inspections, or employer safety procedures. It is a complement to your existing program, not a substitute for it.
The system is available in two configurations to support different platform designs. A fitment review is conducted before deployment. Provide your lift make, model, and platform photos and the team will confirm compatibility before any commitment is made.
Yes. Demonstrations, fitment reviews, field discussions, and pilot program conversations are available. Contact Troy or Tony Franklin directly to schedule.
Send your scissor lift make and model, platform photographs, jobsite location, and project timeline to the team. Franklin Safety Group will review the details and follow up to discuss deployment options, configurations, and next steps.
