A height limiter is a device that can be fitted to excavators and earth moving machinery, tip trucks, some vehicle mounted cranes, and other machinery, that limit the up movement of a machine.

This can prevent hitting many types of obstructions, over head rail lines, Ceilings, Bridges, Power lines, and other obstructions.
