These innovations, which facilitate rapid and easy access to information, play a crucial role in the productivity, efficiency, and safety of construction sites. A concrete example of these advancements is MyCompanion by Haulotte, an innovative digital tool. This article explores how these technologies are changing the daily lives of MEWP operators.
Immediate Access to information
MEWP (Mobile Elevating Work Platform) operators often switch from one machine to another and must quickly adapt to the specifics of each model.
Technological tools allow immediate access to comprehensive documentation specific to each machine.
By simply scanning a QR code, such as the one on MyCompanion, operators can view user manuals, maintenance logs, spare parts catalogs, and instructional videos. This quick access to information improves productivity while ensuring better safety on the job site.
Intuitive and rapid handling
One of the great advantages of these tools is their ease of use. Unlike complex applications, these systems are often accessible via a simple QR code scan, leading to a mobile-optimized website.
This ease of access ensures quick handling, essential for operators who often need to adapt rapidly to new machines. This minimizes delays and maximizes productive work time.

Enhanced safety
Safety on construction sites is a non-negotiable priority. Tools like MyCompanion offer interactive safety checklists, enabling operators to quickly perform visual inspections of the machine before each use. Additionally, by providing local weather forecasts, these systems help operators plan their work considering environmental conditions, thus reducing risks associated with wind, rain, or other weather conditions.
Optimized energy management and alerts
For machines equipped with connected systems, such as Sherpal by Haulotte, these tools offer real-time management of fuel or battery levels and safety alerts.
This information allows operators to anticipate energy needs and prevent unexpected interruptions. Moreover, with geolocation, they can track the machine’s position, increasing safety and operational efficiency on the job site.
Adaptability and Scalability
These technological solutions are designed to evolve based on user feedback. This adaptability allows for responding to the changing needs of operators and adjusting to new site requirements.
By incorporating feedback, these tools can continually improve, offering increasingly relevant and useful features in everyday operations.
