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 Premier Man Baskets
Rectangular Premier man baskets are engineered to meet or exceed OSHA requirements for crane-suspended personnel platforms, using the same safety and documentation standards as the main Premier crane man basket line. Each basket is supplied with an OSHA Certificate of Compliance, a detachable Test Weight System for 125% proof-load testing, and a safety and use handbook to support compliant lift planning, inspection, and operation.
The integrated round-tube frame and base-attached sling assembly are designed as a complete personnel lifting system, not a modified material platform. This helps ensure predictable, stable performance along the full length of the rectangular footprint, even when crews and tools are not perfectly centered.
Rectangular Premier Man Basket Features & Specifications
Our crane man baskets are made according to OSHA specifications. They are safe, long-lasting, and dependable.
Key features include:
- Heavy-duty round-tube frame in an elongated rectangular footprint, with a braced truss skid system to keep the platform floor off the ground and protect the structure during storage and handling.
- Base-attached four-leg sling assembly plus a fifth tie-off leg to help keep the platform level and maximize stability along the full rectangular length.
- Perforated steel sides from toeboard to mid-rail to help contain tools and materials along the length of the basket while maintaining visibility and reducing wind load.
- 42" guardrail, full-perimeter grab rail, mid-rail, and 6" toeboards to support personal fall arrest systems and help prevent dropped objects.
- Optional overhead protection with perforated steel skylights for work under falling-object hazards, providing approximately 6' 7" interior height on overhead models.
- Electrostatic powder-coat finish in yellow and black for resistance to impact, abrasion, chemicals, and corrosion.
- Detachable Test Weight System included with every rectangular Premier basket to support 125% proof-load testing and OSHA compliance.
- Heavy-duty data plates listing unit weight, maximum rated load capacity, maximum occupancy, required test weight, and serial number for quick reference.
