• Access to machines can be restricted – the MEWP can be set to only start if operators have a valid IPAF Smart PAL Card which proves they are trained for the appropriate machine category.
• An electronic logbook can be created for individual operators – showing which machines they have operated, for how long and where.
• Smartcard systems can be integrated for industry-wide coverage.
• The Smart PAL Card will continue to have security features, such as the cardholder’s photo, signature and an IPAF logo printed as a hologram.
We can provide other categories, please call us for details
