UK best-selling forklift safety cage 

Our access platforms create a secure space for you to carry out various maintenance and inspection tasks safely. The ABIS range of forklift cages adheres to the highest industry standards (HSE document PM28 4th Edition).

Designed to fit seamlessly with Invicta forklifts and other branded trucks, the cage is a generous size, big enough for two people. It attaches to the truck's forks, extending its use and potential as a lifting tool.  

Health and safety are at the forefront of this platform’s design. It comes with a safety harness, a non-slip floor, and internal handles as standard. And you won’t miss seeing it coming, as it’s painted in a very safe bright orange!

It’s hard to beat this attachment on specification and price, which is why it’s our best-selling forklift platform.  

Suitable for up to two people, this forklift man basket is PM28 compliant and comes supplied with the required certificate of conformity (test certification). 

Does the platform comply with current health and safety regulations?
Yes, the platform is PM28 compliant and comes supplied with full test certification. This document certifies that the product meets the standards required by the industry’s regulatory authorities. 

What is HSE’s PM28 4th Edition? 
HSE's PM28 4th Edition, titled "Safe use of lifting equipment," provides guidance on safely using forklift truck platform cages. The document outlines requirements for the design, construction, and use of such equipment to ensure the safety of operators and those working on the platforms. It covers aspects such as stability, guardrails, access points, and other safety features.

Do you have to wear a harness in a forklift cage?
Although the legal obligation for harness use in forklift cages varies, it is strongly advised as best practice. Your employees should be adequately trained in using the harness, and the equipment should be regularly inspected and maintained to uphold safety standards.

How does the platform attach to the lift truck?
The forklift platform attachment is secured to the lift truck via removable heel pins located behind the heel of the forks. Once these pins are in place, the platform will be safely secured.

How do I gain entry into the platform?
To gain entry, lift the moveable bar on the front of the platform. The bar will then drop back down into place upon release.

What if my fork dimensions are larger than what you say the platform pockets will accept?
This isn’t a problem, but please reach out to us with the dimensions of your fork. We may need to adjust the platform pockets to ensure compatibility. Feel free to contact us for a smooth customisation process.

You or your authorised person must be present to receive and sign for delivery.
