HIGH-QUALITY, DEPENDABLE MATERIAL CAGES
Material Platforms for Forklifts & Cranes
Lifting Technologies built and sold its first material-only platform in 1992. We have since built several hundred of these types of platforms.
Each Lifting Technologies material-only baskets are custom designed for your specific needs. In order to meet the highest standards of safety, our material baskets include documentation of a full-proof load test. Each platform is designed to handle a minimum of three times its maximum recommended load.
In order to create the best material-only basket, we will ask you about specifics such as capacity, length, width, height, gate or ramp, type of floor, etc. These platforms can be a crane or hoist suspended forklift mounted, or both.
After coming up with a suitable design, we will put it in our production schedule. We put each of our forklift and crane work platforms through load testing before approving it for use.
Lifting Technologies welcomes inquiries on material platforms, and looks forward to working with you closely to provide you with a platform built exactly to your specifications.

Although not specific to material platforms, ASME has some applicable standards for below the hook lifting devices and we manufacture our platforms to the 3 times safety factory required by that code.
The capacity is determined by the customer’s lifting requirements
Platform dimensions can be specified as either inside dimension or outside dimension. Some customers require a certain size of material inside to be lifted, so they prefer to know the inside dimensions. Some customers have limits on how large their platform itself can be, so they prefer to specify outside dimensions.
