Forklift Man Cage FAQs
What is a forklift man cage?
A forklift man cage is an elevated work platform attached to the forks of a forklift that allows workers to be safely lifted for temporary, at-height tasks.
How does a forklift man cage work?
A forklift man cage works by securely mounting the man cage to the forklift tynes, safely harnessing workers inside the cage to prevent falls, and strict operator protocols to safely raise, lower and move the forklift man cage.
What are some of the common types of forklift man cages?
Common forklift safety cages include forklift safety cages with mesh sides, and forklift safety cages with rail sides.
Does a man cage reduce a forklift’s load capacity?
A forklift man cage reduces a forklift’s load capacity as the attachment adds weight and shifts the load centre forward on the forks, decreasing the safe lifting weight.
How do you secure a forklift man cage to a forklift?
The forklift tynes must be fully inserted into the fork pockets under the man cage, then the cage is secured to the forks using heavy duty chains or locking system. This prevents the cage from sliding forward off the forklift tynes.
What is the Australian safety standard for forklift man cages?
Forklift man cages must be designed and certified by a qualified engineer to meet Australian Standard AS 2359.1. The man cage must display a permanent compliance plate outlining manufacturer details, WWL, and serial number.
What are the important safety considerations when using a forklift man cage?
- Always ensure that the man cage has been securely attached to the forklift using the locking system.
- The man cage must match the forklift’s rated capacity, usually engineered to hold a specific weight or a set number of people and tools.
- The personnel safety harness needs to be securely connected to the designated fall restraint or anchor points located at the back of the cage. The lanyard should also be adjusted so personnel are restrained inside the cage and can’t fall over the guardrails.
- Ensure the self-locking gate is secure before beginning operations.
- A forklift man cage should only ever be used by a licensed and trained forklift operator, who must remain at the controls at all times that the cage is elevated.
- Pre-usage inspections and hazard checks should be conducted before a man cage is used.
