Safety Access Platforms
To follow from health and safety, so finding the safest, most cost effective means of working from a height may not be as easy as you think. Where you need to operate at height infrequently you may want to think about a safety access platform, they are much safer than ladders and far less costly than erecting scaffolding, what’s more you will probably be able to utilise your forklift truck to attach one of the range of forklift mounted safety cages we can now offer, and if you don't have a forklift then we can also offer crane slung cages.Forklift mounted safety cages are becoming more and more popular due to health and safety regulations and allow 1 or 2 people to be elevated in safety up to the maximum height your forks will go, to carry out tasks at heights. It is recommended that a safety harness and lanyard is used to secure the person to the cage safely. Forklift safety cages or safety access platforms as they are sometimes referred to as can be extremely beneficial in large warehouses and factories, as they allow the safe retrieval of objects that are out of reach, and also allow safe maintenance procedures.
These cages fit easily onto the forks of a forklift truck, though you should ensure the truck's capacity will take the weight of the cage and person/s plus objects for transport.
Crane slung safety cages simply hang from a crane hook via their top lugs and some lifting slings. These are useful in rescue operations.
