Heavy-Duty Rectangular Crane Man Baskets for Linear Work and Extended Reach.
Rectangular Premier crane man baskets are crane-suspended personnel platforms designed for linear work along beams, pipe racks, economizers, and conveyors where crews need more reach along one axis. They combine yellow-and-black round-tube construction with a base-attached sling assembly to create a stable, extended work area under the crane hook for 2- to 4-person crews. Each rectangular Premier basket ships as a turnkey package with our detachable Test Weight System, access to Lifting Techologies online video training, safety documentation.
What Are Rectangular Premier Crane Man Baskets?
Rectangular Premier crane man baskets are elongated personnel platforms that allow workers to cover more distance along a straight workface without constant crane repositioning. They are ideal for boiler waterwalls, economizers, long structural beams, pipe runs, and conveyor galleries where work progresses from point to point along a span rather than around a circumference.
By aligning the platform with the workface, these baskets help reduce crane time, minimize setup changes, and improve productivity on jobs where every lift needs to accomplish as much work as possible. They also give lift planners more flexibility in positioning crews and tools along the length of the task while maintaining OSHA-compliant personnel lifting.
OSHA-Compliant Rectangular Professional Man Baskets
Rectangular Professional man baskets are engineered to meet or exceed OSHA requirements for crane-suspended personnel platforms, using the same safety framework as other Professional models. Each basket is supplied with our detachable Test Weight System for 125% proof-load testing, a safety and use handbook, access to Lifting Technologies online video training, and an OSHA Certificate of Compliance to support compliant lift planning, inspection, and operation.
The high-strength square-tube frame helps keep basket weight down while still providing the rigidity and enclosure needed for safe work at height. By focusing on OSHA-compliant design without the heavier round-tube construction, Professional baskets offer a budget-conscious path to safe personnel lifting.
