Solid Red, Round Crane Man Baskets with OSHA-Compliant Safety at a Budget-Conscious Price
Professional round crane man baskets from Lifting Technologies are crane-suspended personnel platforms designed for contractors and facilities that want OSHA-compliant safety in a lighter-weight, more economical package.
These solid red baskets are lighter in weight than our Premier series and use a high-strength 0.120" wall, 1.250" or 1.500" square tubular steel frame and round footprint to provide 360-degree access around towers, tanks, and stacks.
Each Professional round basket includes our detachable Test Weight System and either a lifting bar or sling assembly, giving you a complete, ready-to-lift personnel platform under the crane hook.
Round Professional Crane Man Baskets
Professional round crane man baskets are designed for work where crews need 360-degree access around cylindrical structures but prefer a lighter, square-tube design and solid red finish. The round footprint minimizes overall size while still giving workers an efficient workspace and clear access around the full circumference of the structure.
They are often used on towers, stacks, tanks, and vertical process equipment in power, petrochemical, and industrial environments, especially where budget-conscious users need OSHA-compliant personnel lifting whether on a recurring or project basis.
OSHA-Compliant Professional Round Man Baskets
A high-strength steel square tubing construction is the foundation for a high-quality man basket despite the budget-friendly price. Each Professional round crane man basket sold through Lifting Technologies comes with an OSHA-compliant guarantee and our unique detachable Test Weight System, helping ensure maximum safety below the hook and full compliance with OSHA personnel-hoisting rules.
These solid red baskets are lighter in weight than our Premier Series but still incorporate a 0.120" wall, 1.250" or 1.500" square tubular steel frame, 42" guardrail system, and perforated steel enclosure.
