Work Platform FAQ’s
A forklift man basket should be built to follow ASME B56.1 and OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502 subpart M for fall protection standards. Forklift man baskets must be secured to the forklift, have a 5′ tall protective back (7′ for California) and be equipped with guardrails and harness tie off points.
Forklift baskets include fork pockets that the fork tines lift from. When the basket is against the forklift mast guard insert heavy duty pins behind the heel of the fork tines or in some cases hook a high capacity chain behind the mast guard to attach the basket.
The primary difference between a forklift man basket and a telehandler basket is the protective back. A forklift basket will require a 5′ high protective back with gaps of no more than 1/2 inch while a telehandler basket does not. Both will still require the basket to be locked onto the fork tines and include safety harness tie off points as well as guardrails.
