Our heavy-duty telehandler man baskets are designed and built in Canada for demanding job-site conditions.
Each unit is constructed using fully welded steel, engineered for high load capacity, and available with
P.Eng-stamped drawings where required.

These platforms are commonly used in framing, commercial and residential construction, masonry,
steel erection, and industrial maintenance, where durability, safety, and compliance actually
matter — not just price.

If you want a clear technical breakdown of what makes a heavy-duty telehandler man basket different from
standard platforms — including structural design, load ratings, and safety considerations — read the full article here:

What Is a Heavy-Duty Telehandler Man Basket?

In our designs, both standard and heavy-duty man baskets are built using
the same core structural approach.

• Both use 4″ × 8″ steel tubing with 0.188″ wall thickness
• Both feature a fully reinforced floor with integrated crossmember supports.
• Both have the same rated capacity
• Both models can be lifted from three sides

For example, in a 5′ × 12′ size, both standard and heavy-duty baskets are rated to lift
up to 6,000 lb.

Key differences:

• The heavy-duty model weighs approximately 200 lb more
• Steel usage is essentially the same
• The heavy-duty model includes fold-down sides, adding up to 7 ft of working length
• The standard model has fixed side extensions that do not fold down

Yes. P.Eng-stamped drawings are available for our man baskets when required for your site
or province.

Yes, many of our man baskets are available fully hot-dip galvanized.

Galvanizing is a strong choice for:

• Wet environments (common across Canada)
• Concrete and masonry work
• Jobs with heavy water, snow, or slurry exposure

Compared to paint, galvanizing provides long-term corrosion protection and reduces ongoing maintenance.

Yes. We ship across Canada.

Depending on your location, we can arrange delivery to a commercial address or ship to a nearby terminal
for pickup. In many cases, terminal pickup is the most cost-effective option.

In many cases, yes.

We can sometimes apply customer-requested modifications as long as they
do not compromise safety or structural integrity.

For custom sizes or major changes, additional engineering review may be required.
Contact us with your requirements, and we’ll confirm feasibility.

Man baskets are used to safely lift workers for tasks such as:

• Framing and construction
• Masonry and concrete work
• Steel erection
• Maintenance, inspection, and installation at height

Compared to traditional scaffolding, man baskets are safer, faster to deploy,
and easier to reposition, allowing crews to work more efficiently.

Man baskets are significantly safer than traditional access methods when used correctly.

They are built to strict safety requirements and include:

• Full guardrail systems
• Toe boards and access restraint components, such as safety chains or gates
• Designated lanyard attachment points for fall protection

When properly operated and combined with appropriate fall protection, man baskets provide a stable and controlled working platform.
