Seyeon Tech Rental is based in Busan, in the south of the country with a branch in Kyeong-gi in the greater Seoul area. It runs a large fleet of boom and scissor lifts, mostly from Genie, with scissor lifts up to 53ft and boom lifts up to 85ft.

Noblelift Korea chief executive, Kay Kang said: “The order includes a mix of our SC08EC, SC10E, SC14E and SC16E models with special features for the South Korean market and specifically for this customer, such as anti-entrapment devices, a system to prevent the platform drive when elevated more than 100mm and a foot pedal which must be depressed to allow operating functions.”
The chief executive of Noblelift’s new Access division Tim Whiteman added: “We are delighted to be able to meet customer requirements for market specific options and customisations for this order and in the future. The Korean market is one of the most demanding in the world and this is a great vote of confidence for our brand”.

Harry Sharp: The question that you should ask is, in Korea can you legally drive the machine remotely. That would ultimately answer your question.
I'm not saying it's good or bad (personally not a fan), I'm just saying that foot pedals are required in some countries for many years.

Eric_L: Can a machine be driven when walking? If not, how does the operator do something like going through a doorway when the guard rails are removed?

In Korea, foot pedals are mendatory not only for 3B, but 3A also.
I think it is not useful both for efficiency and safety, but tries to change the rules have been failed to convince users and government.
If some people says "it is dangerous" then, government adds more condition which may harm the nature of the equipment.
They abound
I suppose we'll be getting that next, then, to go with the secondary guarding, things to put pipes and boards on, harness extensions, trackers and keypads, hidden buttons, and the like. Anyone remember when Upright used to offer a bolt on driving seat? I bet we don't see something as useful as that again.

Guys, Foot pedals in scissorlift have been required in some Asian countries for many years. Absolutely nothing new here.

‘… and an a foot pedal which must be depressed to allow operating functions”.
So does that mean the machines can’t be operated by walking?
