Forklift Crane Jib Work Platform for Elevated Work

For some construction and maintenance jobs, getting people and tools to the required working height can be more difficult than moving the materials themselves. A suitable work basket mounted on a forklift, rough terrain forklift or crane jib can provide a practical solution for these jobs.

This heavy-duty forklift crane jib work platform is designed for customers who need a stronger and more spacious basket for outdoor construction, equipment maintenance, installation and inspection work.

The basket measures 1500 mm long, 750 mm wide and 1000 mm high, with a rated load capacity of 300 kg. The size has been developed to give the operator a useful working area without making the basket unnecessarily large.

The overall structure is also noticeably heavier than many lightweight work baskets. The mounting support is made from 6 mm steel plate, while the main boom is made from 4 mm steel plate. A reinforced hydraulic cylinder is used for boom adjustment, allowing the working angle to be changed hydraulically.

The basket has a rounded guardrail rather than a simple square frame. Apart from giving the platform a cleaner appearance, the curved railing provides a more comfortable working space inside the basket.

The proportions of the basket are also intentional. At 1.5 metres long and 750 mm wide, there is enough room for a person to work with tools while keeping the attachment relatively compact for transport and positioning.

The steel construction is suitable for customers who are looking for a heavy duty forklift work platform rather than a lightweight personnel basket.

Designed for forklifts, crane jibs and 4WD machines

This type of work platform can be used with suitable lifting equipment, including forklifts, 4WD rough terrain forklifts, forklift crane jibs and other compatible hydraulic lifting systems.

A rough terrain forklift is often used on construction sites where the ground is uneven and ordinary warehouse forklifts are not suitable. With the right attachment, the machine can also be used for certain elevated maintenance and installation jobs.

For example, a contractor may already have a 4WD forklift equipped with a hydraulic boom or crane jib. A suitable work basket can provide another option when personnel need to reach an elevated working position.

The exact compatibility depends on the forklift or crane, attachment mounting system, hydraulic configuration, lifting capacity and working position. These details should be checked before ordering.

Hydraulic boom adjustment

The boom is fitted with a reinforced hydraulic cylinder, allowing the basket angle to be adjusted according to the working position.

This is useful when the required working point is not directly in front of the lifting machine. Instead of moving the entire machine for every small adjustment, the operator can use the hydraulic boom to position the basket more conveniently.

The hydraulic system and mounting arrangement can also be discussed according to the customer's forklift or crane configuration.

300 kg capacity

The rated capacity of the platform is 300 kg.

This gives the basket sufficient capacity for personnel, tools and normal working equipment, provided that the complete lifting system is rated for the required load.

It is important to distinguish the basket's rated capacity from the actual lifting capacity of the forklift or crane. A machine may have a high nominal lifting capacity but a considerably lower allowable capacity when the boom is extended or the load is positioned at a greater distance.

For this reason, we normally recommend that customers provide the forklift or crane model and, if possible, photos of the existing lifting attachment before confirming the configuration.

Suitable for construction and maintenance work

The platform can be considered for jobs such as building maintenance, equipment inspection, installation work, factory maintenance, agricultural facility maintenance and other applications where temporary elevated access is required.

It is particularly useful for companies already operating rough terrain forklifts, all terrain forklifts or forklift crane jibs and looking for an additional attachment rather than purchasing a dedicated aerial work machine.

The basket can also be supplied with different attachment configurations depending on the lifting equipment. If you are using a specific forklift crane jib or hydraulic boom, send us the machine model and photos of the mounting area. We can check the configuration before production.

Main dimensions

The work basket is 1500 × 750 × 1000 mm, with a 300 kg rated capacity. The mounting support is made from 6 mm steel plate and the main boom from 4 mm steel plate. A reinforced hydraulic cylinder is used for angle adjustment.

The basket is finished to match the lifting equipment, so the attachment can have a more integrated appearance when installed on a forklift, crane or rough terrain forklift.

If you are looking for a forklift man basket, 4WD rough terrain forklift work platform, forklift crane jib basket or hydraulic aerial work platform, send us your machine model and the required working height. We can check the attachment configuration and provide the suitable solution.

Personnel lifting applications must be carried out only with equipment and attachments approved for this purpose and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and applicable local regulations.
