Man Baskets • Forklift Safety Cages
The Medlin man basket is a personnel lifting platform that turns your forklift into a safe work platform for elevated tasks. When uptime, compliance, and worker protection matter, our safety cage is the dependable choice. Each basket is built from heavy duty carbon steel with a non slip diamond plate floor, 42 in hand rails, a 4 in toe guard, dual chain gate, an 84 in safety back screen, a lanyard hook, and a standard safety chain for secure entry.

Standard finish is safety red for easy visibility on busy warehouse floors.
