New basket for service cranes

Diversified Products has designed a quick-attach personnel basket for use with service cranes. The product is a yoke-style basket that features a universal mounting bracket for installation on a variety of service-type cranes.

Made from heavy-duty steel, Diversified's baseket has a 30-inch-wide by 30-inch-deep floor with inward-opening doors that save space and promote easy entry. The basket is designed to be stored on the service body of the equipment.

The basket meets or exceeds ASME standard B30.23 for personnel lifting systems, and includes floor slots to drain water as well as upset holes to prvent slippage. Each basket also contains a low-maintenance, high-capacity caliper brake.

Options include stands for installation on uneven ground or large cranes, a step for convenience and a CSA-approved upper basket enclosure.
