Man baskets, sometimes called personnel baskets or crane cages, are secure platforms designed to lift workers using a crane or forklift. They are built with strong steel frames, safety rails, and harness points to ensure the occupants remain protected while elevated. Man baskets are used when access is required at height for inspection, maintenance, or installation tasks where scaffolding or mobile platforms aren’t practical.

For safe use, man baskets must comply with strict regulations and only be operated with approved lifting equipment. Workers inside should always wear fall protection harnesses, and the crane or forklift must be stabilised on firm ground; often supported by mats or pads. Regular checks and adherence to site safety rules are essential to keep both operators and workers safe during lifting operations.
