Many Canadian job sites and jurisdictions expect telehandler man baskets to be supported by engineering documentation. This helps demonstrate that the platform has been designed to safely handle personnel loading, movement, and repeated lifting cycles.

Pricing varies based on platform size, load rating, construction details, and whether engineering documentation is included. Heavy-duty platforms designed for regular industrial use typically cost more than light-duty or generic baskets due to material selection, fabrication standards, and engineering requirements.

Requirements vary by province, but the core expectations are consistent. A telehandler man basket must be structurally suitable for lifting personnel, securely attached to the machine, and equipped with appropriate fall protection provisions. Most jurisdictions expect engineering documentation—often P.Eng-stamped—confirming the platform’s intended use, capacity, and structural design.

Yes—provided the man basket is specifically designed and approved for use on a telehandler. In Canada, this typically means the platform is engineered as a personnel work platform and supported by documentation demonstrating compliance with applicable CSA and OHS requirements. Improvised or non-engineered platforms are generally not acceptable for lifting personnel.
