I am looking for some assistance in creating a way to stop a skid steer loader that drives on a confined course if it hits the wall. We currently operate a theme park where children drives skid steers loaders and we have a remote E-stop. the course is enclosed and surrounded by a barrier system. I am looking to see if there is some device that can be mounted in the front of the machine and wrap around the front end that shuts off the machine the minute it makes contact with the barrier system. For example a limit switch, would work but we have a 5' wide front area so we need a way to cover the entire area as the impact can be from various angles. Essentially when contact is made it trips a relay and shuts of the engine like our remote E-stop and prevents barrier damage.
Would any engineers have some ideas into this creative system or suggestions on a device?
Thank you
