SECO2-600 Square Professional Man Basket With Overhead Protection
Product Description
The SECO2-600 is the two-person square Professional crane-suspended man basket with overhead protection in Lifting Technologies’ product line, designed for small crews working in compact spaces where both a square footprint and overhead shielding are required. Its 48″ by 48″ platform provides a balanced, symmetric work area for two workers and their tools, while remaining small enough for congested structural layouts and equipment clearances.
Professional overhead models feature a high-strength 0.120″ wall square tubular steel frame, heavy-gauge steel floor grating, 42″ high guardrails, and 6″ high toeboards around the perimeter. Perforated steel side panels extend from the toeboard to the mid-rail to help retain tools and small objects, and an inward-opening access gate with a positive restraining device controls access. A full-perimeter inner grab rail is provided for personal fall-arrest anchorage, aligning with OSHA 1926.502 Subpart M.
The SECO2-600 is 48″ width, 48″ length, has a 600 lb maximum rated load capacity, a 750 lb test (proof) weight, and it weighs 525 lb. Overhead Professional baskets have an inside height of about 79″ from floor to overhead frame, and SECO2-600’s overhead structure uses perforated steel skylight panels 6′ 7″ above the platform floor to protect against minor falling debris while maintaining light and ventilation.
SECO2-600 is suspended from a dedicated four-leg sling assembly made from 1/2″ 6×36 IWRC wire rope attached to a master link for the crane hook. Each leg connects directly to the basket base via swaged terminations and safety-threaded clevis pins, forming a base-attached hoisting configuration that promotes stable lifting and even load distribution. A fifth safety leg is provided for tie-off to the load line above the overhaul ball, further improving stability and supporting OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1431 requirements for hoisting personnel.
The SECO2-600 standard orders include the overhead-protected platform, detachable test weight system, sling assembly, and training/Use and Safety Handbook materials.
All SECO2-600 baskets are proof-load tested at 750 lb—125% of their 600 lb rated capacity—prior to shipment. Each platform is delivered with proof-load certificates, inspection checklists, documentation tube, and access to Use and Safety Handbook and training video resources that explain OSHA rules and recommended inspection practices.
SECO2-600 is used where two workers need crane-suspended access to localized work areas under overhead-hazard conditions, such as below active decks, structural levels, or overhead piping, and where an overhead-protected square platform offers the right balance of compact footprint, crew capacity, and protection.
Industrial Applications
Construction & Structural
On construction and structural steel projects, SECO2-600 suits two-person tasks such as bolt installation and inspection, small weld repairs, and point detailing at beams, columns, and platform edges. The 48″ × 48″ square plan allows the crew to work side by side while keeping the basket small enough for tight framing and congested areas.
Overhead protection is especially valuable when work occurs under upper floors or active work tiers where small items may fall; the perforated skylight panels add a physical barrier while still requiring good housekeeping and dropped-object controls.
Industrial Plants & Maintenance
In industrial plants, refineries, and processing facilities, SECO2-600 is used for two-technician maintenance and inspection tasks at equipment fronts, mezzanine edges, and localized pipe or cable routes where overhead piping, cable trays, or structures create potential for minor falling debris. The square footprint fits many equipment galleries and access openings, and the overhead frame supplements facility fall- and object-protection programs.
Side infill panels and 4″ toeboards assist in containing small items on the deck, while the inner grab rail is used as fall-arrest anchorage for both workers in accordance with plant safety rules.
Utilities & Infrastructure
For utilities and infrastructure, SECO2-600 can be deployed for two-person work at parapets, access points, or localized structural zones where overhead hazards exist from traffic decks or upper structure. The compact overhead-protected square basket allows access beneath such structures in locations where longer rectangular platforms might not be practical.
The combination of overhead shielding, OSHA-compliant guarding, and a small square plan makes SECO2-600 useful for targeted inspection or repair tasks where scaffolding is not feasible and overhead exposure must be minimized.
Features & Benefits
Two-Person Square Work Area With Overhead Protection: The 48″ × 48″ overhead-protected square platform provides a balanced, compact workspace for two workers plus tools in overhead-hazard environments, while allowing flexible orientation relative to the work face.
Professional-Series, OSHA-Compliant Construction: SECO2-600 uses 0.120″ wall square tubular steel, heavy-gauge floor grating, 42″ guardrails, 6″ toeboards, perforated side panels, an inward-opening gate, and a full-perimeter inner grab rail to align with OSHA 1926.502 fall-protection provisions.
Base-Attached Four-Leg Sling With Safety Leg: A four-leg 1/2″ 6×36 IWRC wire rope sling assembly attached to the basket base and secured to a master link, plus a fifth safety leg to the load line above the overhaul ball, provides stable, OSHA 1926.1431–oriented hoisting of personnel.
125% Proof-Load Tested With Unique Test Weight System: Each SECO2-600 is proof-tested to 750 lb (125% of the 600 lb rating) and equipped with LT’s unique test weight system, sling assembly and video training, along with proof-load certificates and inspection documentation.
Durable Powder-Coat Finish and Custom Options: Professional baskets are finished with an electrostatic powder-coat (standard red with yellow test weights) for impact and corrosion resistance, and can be customized in color and certain configuration details to meet project or branding needs.
