This versatile crane cage has been precisely designed in strict accordance with Australian Standard AS 1418.17, ensuring that it meets the highest standards for safety and reliability.

Designed for Safety and Compliance

The FC2962 crane cage is built for one person, with a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 250kg. This capacity ensures that the cage can support a worker along with their tools and equipment for a variety of tasks, such as maintenance, inspections, repairs, or any other work at height. The FC2962 is built for short-duration work, making it an efficient and effective solution in situations where temporary access is necessary.

Safety is essential when lifting personnel, and the FC2962 provides a safe working space for the individual inside. The cage features a painted enamel finish in Safety Yellow, making it highly visible on construction sites and other work environments. This bright, easily identifiable colour reduces the risk of accidents, ensuring that workers and crane operators can quickly spot the cage, thus improving site safety.

As well as the bright safety finish, the cage also features a mesh roof, offering protection from falling objects. This safety feature is particularly crucial in environments where tools or materials might fall from height, creating a risk to the person inside the cage or those working below.

Practical and Efficient Design

One of the standout features of the FC2962 is its portability. Weighing in at only 150kg, this crane cage is lightweight and easy to transport, making it perfect for quick placement in various work environments. The cage comes equipped with fork arm slippers, which are designed specifically for transport purposes. These slippers make it easy to move the cage using a forklift, streamlining the process of relocating the platform on the job site.

The fork pocket size of 165x65mm, with pocket centres at 555mm, is designed to work with standard forklift equipment, allowing for easy handling and quick relocation. Once positioned, the cage is ready to be hoisted into place using the supplied 1200mm lifting chains. This simple operation is one of the reasons why the FC2962 crane cage is so effective in dynamic work environments.

Aside from its compact size, the platform provides ample space for a single worker to perform their duties at height. Whether it’s a quick inspection, maintenance task, or other short-duration activities, the FC2962 crane cage guarantees that the worker can carry out their work safely and efficiently.

These documents provide vital information on how to safely use the crane cage and ensure that it is in proper working condition.

By following these strict safety standards, the FC2962 guarantees that it is not only a reliable tool but also one that meets legal safety requirements. This is important for workplaces where compliance with Work Health and Safety (WHS) regulations is essential.

Given its SWL of 250kg, the cage can carry one person, as well their tools and equipment. This makes it a reliable and cost-effective option for businesses needing to lift personnel quickly and safely.
