Octopussy Evo is fitted with an innovative stabilisation system which allows the outriggers to be opened and positioned in 3 different positions: completely open, completely open on one side and partially open on the opposite side or partially open. According to the position selected Octopussy Evo automatically calculates the work area allowing work to be performed only in this area. A particular feature of this system is that if one outrigger is completely open and the other one is partially open the arm can be extended on the side of the latter meaning that the platform can be positioned closer to the work face.

Using the new wired or radio-controlled remote control systems, the operator can manoeuvre the platform without standing in its range of action, meaning increased operating safety for the operator. Oil Steel has also developed and patented a special safety system called Safety Ring which is a special ultrasound transreceiving device installed on the upper part of the platform.This is in continuous contact with the radio-controlled remote control so the system only allows the operator to move the platform within a safety ring area, avoiding any movement too close or too far from said area.
