Compact Solid Red Crane Man Baskets for Tight Work Zones and Maintenance Decks.
Square Professional crane man baskets offer a compact footprint and lighter weight than Premier models, making them well suited for tight work areas, equipment decks, and maintenance platforms.
Built with high-strength square-tube steel in a solid red finish, these baskets include our detachable Test Weight System and sling assembly to deliver OSHA-compliant personnel lifting for budget-conscious users.
Each square Professional basket ships with safety documentation and access to Lifting Technologies online video training so you can verify compliance and get to work at height with confidence.
What Are Square Professional Crane Man Baskets?
Square Professional crane man baskets are crane-suspended platforms designed for confined spaces where a small, predictable footprint is essential and a lighter overall basket weight is preferred. They help contractors and rental fleets provide safe, OSHA-compliant crane access in areas where larger or heavier platforms would be difficult to maneuver or would demand larger cranes.
The square shape makes these baskets especially useful on equipment decks, in plant interiors, and in structural bays where access points are tight and a compact plan view helps crews position close to the work.
OSHA-Compliant Square Professional Man Baskets
Square Professional man baskets are engineered to meet or exceed OSHA requirements for crane-suspended personnel platforms, using the same safety framework as other Professional Series models. Each basket is supplied with our detachable Test Weight System for 125% proof-load testing, a safety and use handbook, access to a Lifting Technologies online training video, and an OSHA Certificate of Compliance to support compliant lift planning, inspection, and operation.
The square-tube frame keeps the platform lighter than Premier while still maintaining structural integrity and a secure work envelope, giving users a budget-conscious path to OSHA-compliant personnel lifting.
