Presentation

Working close to aircraft, industrial equipment, or other high-value assets requires precision, confidence and enhanced situational awareness.Obstacle Detection Assist (ODA) is Haulotte's OEM-integrated operator assistance solution designed to support operators when maneuvering MEWPs in sensitive environments. Using a combination of sensors, visual and audible alerts, a dedicated human-machine interface and, on selected models, laser technology, ODA helps operators better understand their surroundings during critical approach maneuvers.
 
Fully integrated into the machine's hardware and software architecture, ODA is factory-installed and specifically optimized for each compatible model to ensure seamless operation and a consistent user experience.
 

Designed for sensitive environments

In industries where a minor contact can lead to costly repairs, operational disruptions and extended downtime, risk prevention becomes a business-critical priority. ODA is particularly suited for applications such as:
  • Aircraft maintenance and MRO operations
  • Airport ground support activities
  • Aerospace manufacturing facilities
  • Industrial plants
  • Shipyards
  • Museums and cultural heritage sites
