Our Budget Forklift Safety Access Cage is a very cost effective unit but yet still made to a good standard. The safety cage, also known as a forklift access platform, is safer than a ladder and less expensive and quicker than scaffolding. It has a load capacity of 250kg and is suitable for 2 persons. There are 2 bars fitted to both sides with sliding rings for harness attachment, or alternatively 2 eyes fitted into the floor.
 
Included with our Budget Forklift Cage is a tool tray which sits within the 2 side bars. This can be removed if not required. 
 
When in use, the forklift cage must be secured to the forklift. This budget safety cage has a sliding bolt which secures the forklift cage to the heel of the fork. This must be used when in use. The deck of the cage is formed from steel chequer plate to provide grip for the operators to stand on.
The back panel is covered with 50x50mm mesh to prevent any body parts from being caught in the forklift mast when being lifted. The door opens internally so no-one can fall out, and closes smoothly & automatically with a spring. A flick-over catch is also fitted for added protection to stop the forklift cage door accidentally being opened. The upper back section is fixed in position with a warning sign in place.
