A method for determining whether a lifting vehicle is suitable for an environment comprises: receiving 100 model data 12 representative of the vehicle and envelope data 22 defining the outer limits of movement of the vehicle when performing lifting tasks. The method further comprises receiving 102 media data 32 representative of the environment 24, and combining 108 the media data, model data, and media data into augmented media data 46 and outputting 110 and displaying 112 the augmented media data. The envelope data may represent the outer limits of the reach of the operator of the vehicle. The industrial vehicle may be a cherry picker, work platform, or forklift truck and may comprise a scissor lift. The slope of the ground may be determined through analysis of the augmented data and an alarm may be sounded if the angle is greater than a safe threshold. The combination of the model, the envelope data, and the media data may take place in real time.
