Abstract
An elevating platform including a chassis having a motor drive unit, a platform, elevator for elevating the platform relative to the chassis, sensors for delivering signals representative of a configuration of the elevating platform or its environment, a control unit for controlling the elevator means as a function of a plurality of parameters, including parameters corresponding to the signals delivered by the sensors, and a selector for selecting at least one priority parameter and a threshold value for the parameter whereby the control unit determines operating conditions for the elevating platform under which the threshold value for the priority parameter can be reached, and for controlling at least the elevator within a limit of the operating conditions.
