RECO2-600 Two-Person Rectangular Crane Man Basket With Overhead Protection
Product Description
The RECO2-600 is a two-occupant, crane-suspended personnel platform in Lifting Technologies’ Professional rectangular line, equipped with overhead protection for elevated work along beams, platforms, façades, and other flat structural surfaces in overhead-hazard areas. Its 36″ by 60″ platform and integrated overhead frame provide a compact yet shared protected workspace for two workers and their tools.
Engineered to comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1431 for hoisting personnel and OSHA 1926.502 for fall protection, RECO2-600 uses a high-strength 0.120″ wall square tubular steel frame, heavy-gauge steel floor grating, 42″ high guardrails, 6″ toeboards, perforated steel side panels from toeboard to mid-rail, an inward-opening access gate with positive restraining device, and a full-perimeter inner grab rail providing personal fall arrest anchorage. Overhead models have approximately 79″ inside height from floor to overhead frame, with perforated steel skylight panels that help protect occupants from minor falling debris and incidental overhead contact. The 600 lb rated load capacity supports two workers plus tools and PPE, and the basket weight for RECO2-600 is 530 lb.
A dedicated base-attached suspension system consists of a four-leg sling assembly of 1/2″ 6×36 IWRC wire rope secured to a master link, with each leg attached to the platform base via swage sockets and safety-threaded clevis pins; a fifth safety leg ties off to the load line above the overhaul ball to help minimize tipping and meet OSHA hoisting requirements. Each RECO2-600 is proof-load tested at 750 lb—125% of its 600 lb rated capacity—before shipment and is supplied with Lifting Technologies’ unique easy-on/easy-off detachable test weight system, sling assembly, and training materials, along with proof-load certificates and inspection checklists.
RECO2-600 is used in construction, industrial maintenance, and infrastructure projects where two-person crews need protected, crane-suspended access along straight or gently curved flat faces—such as structural steel lines, platform edges, building façades, and equipment fronts—while maintaining OSHA-compliant guardrails, anchorage, and overhead shielding.
Industrial Applications
Construction & Structural
Construction projects often require two-person crews to work along beams, slab edges, and façades below upper-level work where small falling debris is possible. The RECO2-600’s 36″ × 60″ rectangular footprint and overhead protection allow two workers to perform welding, bolting, detailing, and finishing along linear structural members with added protection from overhead hazards.
Its Professional-series framing and protected design make it suitable for crane-suspended work in congested structural areas where alignment with the work face, crew workspace, and overhead mitigation must all be balanced.
Industrial Maintenance & Facilities
Industrial plants and facilities frequently require two-person access to equipment fronts, mezzanine edges, and structures located under overhead piping, trays, or equipment. The RECO2-600 offers a rectangular, overhead-protected workspace for equipment maintenance, platform-edge work, conduit and tray tasks, and other flat-face maintenance where falling-object exposure is a concern.
Guardrails, toeboards, and full-perimeter anchorage, combined with overhead framing, support facility safety programs when crane-suspended access is used in overhead-hazard environments instead of fixed platforms or scaffolding.
Utilities & Infrastructure
Utility and infrastructure projects—bridges, viaducts, and other civil structures—often involve girders, parapets, and deck edges beneath other structural members or traffic. The RECO2-600 supports two-worker tasks such as inspection, minor repairs, and hardware installation along these flat features with overhead protection from minor debris.
Its 36″ × 60″ platform provides enough room for two technicians and tools while remaining compact enough for precise positioning under the structure, improving efficiency and safety for overhead‑hazard work zones.
Features & Benefits
Two-Person Rectangular Work Area With Overhead Protection: The 36″ × 60″ rectangular platform and integrated overhead frame create a protected, shared workspace for two workers plus tools and materials, aligning naturally with beams, platform edges, façades, and other flat work zones in overhead‑hazard environments.
Professional-Series, OSHA-Compliant Construction: A high-strength 0.120″ wall square tubular steel frame, heavy-gauge floor grating, 42″ guardrails, 6″ toeboards, perforated side panels, inward-opening access gate, and full-perimeter inner grab rail deliver OSHA 1926.502-compliant fall protection in a Professional (economy) configuration with overhead protection.
Dedicated Base-Attached Sling Suspension With Safety Leg: The four-leg 1/2″ 6×36 IWRC wire rope sling assembly attached directly to the platform base, plus a fifth safety leg to the load line above the overhaul ball, help maintain a level platform, reduce tipping, and satisfy OSHA 1926.1431 requirements for suspended personnel platforms.
Proof Load Tested With Detachable Test Weight: Each RECO2-600 is proof-load tested at 750 lb (125% of its 600 lb rated capacity) and includes Lifting Technologies’ easy-on/easy-off detachable test weight system, along with proof-load certificates and inspection documentation for safety and audit readiness.
Durable Powder-Coat Finish and Custom Options: An electrostatic powder-coat finish (Professional series standard, typically solid red, with yellow test weight) offers resistance to impact, abrasion, chemicals, and corrosion; custom colors and additional custom features can be engineered to meet specific site or branding requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What OSHA regulations apply to the RECO2-600?
RECO2-600 is designed to comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1431 for crane hoisting of personnel and OSHA 1926.502 Subpart M for fall protection, covering requirements for proof-load testing, guardrail and toeboard dimensions, anchorage, and enclosure between toeboard and mid-rail.
How much weight can the RECO2-600 hold?
RECO2-600 has a maximum rated capacity of 600 lb, which includes the combined weight of both workers plus tools, materials, and PPE. Each unit is proof-load tested at 750 lb (125% of rated capacity) before shipment. The basket weight is approximately 530 lb.
How many people can work in the RECO2-600?
The RECO2-600 is rated for two occupants. Lift planning should distribute the 600 lb capacity between both workers and their gear so that the total load remains within the rated capacity.
When is RECO2-600 preferred over REC2-600 or other rectangular models?
RECO2-600 is appropriate when two workers need a rectangular platform with integrated overhead protection for flat or linear work surfaces in overhead‑hazard environments. Open-top REC2-600 is better where overhead hazards are minimal, while RECO1-300, RECO3-900, and RECO4-1200 fit single-person or larger crew requirements.
What documentation is included with the RECO2-600?
Each RECO2-600 ships with proof-load test certification, operator guidelines, pre-use inspection checklists, and access to Lifting Technologies’ Use and Safety Handbook and training materials, supporting regulatory compliance and site safety programs.
