Never seen a buffer with safety switches attached, even on 7m a second lifts. Guess it wasn't required in our regs. Also you would still know the lift has over travelled when it has gone thru the over travel switches.


Yes you would know. What I use buffer switches for is to make sure the buffers return within 90 seconds. I run the weights and/or car up off the buffer and snatch my jumper off and watch and count for the switch to make.
