Lift device with user contact sensor

A sensor assembly for a lift device, comprising:

• a rod including a first end portion configured to be coupled to the lift device, a second end portion opposite the first end portion, and a resilient member extending between the first end portion and the second end portion;
• a receiver configured to be coupled to the lift device and shaped to receive the second end portion of the rod;
• and
• a sensor positioned to detect at least one of (a) a presence of the second end portion of the rod within the receiver or (b) the second end portion of the rod exiting the receiver.

A lift device comprising:

• a chassis;
• a platform including a rail assembly;
• a lift assembly coupling the platform to the chassis;
• a sensor assembly, comprising:
• a rod including (a) a first end portion coupled to the rail assembly, (b) a second end portion opposite the first end portion, and (c) a resilient member extending between the first end portion and the second end portion;
• a sensor positioned to detect the second end portion of the rod;
• and
• a controller operatively coupled to the sensor and configured to limit movement of the platform in response to an indication from the sensor that the second end portion of the rod has moved away from the sensor.
