Looking for a telehandler man basket that meets OSHA and ANSI standards? Our American-made work platforms are fully engineered, tested, and certified to keep your crew safe and your jobsite running.
Whether you call it a telehandler work platform, man basket attachment, or work platform attachment, ours are built to meet the latest OSHA 29 CFR 1926.602(c) and ANSI/ITSDF B56.6-2016 standards. Backed by stamped engineering letters and operator manuals, these baskets are ready for any jobsite in the U.S. or Canada.
Cheap or homemade man baskets might save you money upfront, but they’re a huge liability. OSHA inspectors routinely issue fines over $16,000 per violation for lifting personnel in non-compliant work platform attachments. If you're using an uncertified telehandler man basket, you’re gambling with your crew’s safety and risking shutdowns.
Even worse, if someone gets hurt, you're exposed to lawsuits, delays, and loss of contracts. It's not worth the risk for a few dollars saved.
Here are the popular sizes we sell.

Q: Can I move my telehandler with people inside the man basket?
No. OSHA and ANSI prohibit horizontal movement with personnel aloft. Always lower, reposition, and re-lift.
Q: Does this work with Genie or JLG telehandlers?
Yes. Our telehandler man basket fits all standard carriage widths used by Genie, JLG, Skyjack, and more.
Q: Do I still need a harness inside the basket?
Yes. OSHA and ANSI both require fall arrest gear. Our anchor points are rated and labeled accordingly.
Whether you’re bidding on a big contract, outfitting your rental fleet, or upgrading jobsite safety, a fully certified telehandler man basket attachment is the right move.
We’ve taken care of the engineering, compliance, and paperwork so you don’t have to.
Stop risking shutdowns. Protect your crew. Own the jobsite.
