Conquip Forklift Access Cage

Forklift Mounted Personnel Cage | 2-Person Capacity | 250kg WLL | UK Manufactured

The Conquip Forklift Access Cage is a forklift-mounted personnel cage that lifts up to two operatives safely for routine maintenance, equipment inspection, and warehouse stocktaking. The cage features full-height mesh sides, internal harness attachment points, and standard fork pockets with heel pin retention. A safe, low-cost alternative to bringing scissor lifts or MEWPs to site for short-duration access tasks at moderate heights.

Technical Specifications

* Working Load Limit (WLL) — the maximum safe lifting capacity. Capacity supports up to 2 personnel plus light equipment.

Key Features

• Internal harness attachment points — operatives can clip on for fall protection
• Full-height mesh sides — additional containment safety during lifting
• Standard fork pockets — fits forklifts and telehandlers without fork adjustment
• Heel pin retention — locks the cage securely to the forks during use
• Folding height design — closes from 2055mm to 1167mm for compact transport and storage
• Steel construction — heavy-duty UK build for repeated commercial use

Suitable Applications

The Forklift Access Cage is best suited to short-duration maintenance and inspection tasks where personnel need to reach moderate heights and a scissor lift, MEWP, or scaffold tower would be over-spec. Common uses include warehouse stocktaking at upper rack levels, building maintenance, equipment inspection, lighting and signage work, and any short-access task where a forklift or telehandler is already on site.

How to Use the Forklift Access Cage

1. Position the carrier's forks at the correct width to enter the cage's fork pockets.
2. Drive the forks fully home into the pockets.
3. Insert the heel pins on both sides to secure the cage to the forks.
4. Confirm both heel pins are seated before personnel enter the cage.
5. Personnel enter the cage and clip on to the internal harness attachment points.
6. Lift smoothly to the working height. Travel only at low height with the cage stable.
7. On completion, lower fully to ground level before personnel exit the cage.

Warning: Do not exceed 250kg total weight (2 personnel plus equipment). Personnel must use the internal harness attachment points. Travel between locations should be at the lowest practical height.

Safety Information

• Operators must be trained in personnel-lifting attachments before use.
• Confirm both heel pins are inserted before every lift.
• Personnel must clip on to the internal harness points before lifting starts.
• Do not exceed the 250kg WLL.
