What is a Man Basket?
The Man Basket is a specialized forklift attachment, designed to safely elevate individuals to significant heights. It’s also known as a personnel basket or safety cage, and is often used in situations where ladders or ground access prove insufficient. This attachment is securely fastened to a forklift or crane, enabling workers to reach inaccessible areas.
To ensure safety, it’s surrounded by guardrails and must meet strict design standards, including load-bearing capacity indications and inward-opening gates with safety latches. The man basket is subject to rigorous safety testing before each use, reflecting its crucial role in high-risk environments.
