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.

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.
