Crane Suspended Man Lifting Basket, Bolted FR-S

Ensure maximum safety and efficiency during high-altitude operations with the Bolted FR-S Crane Suspended Man Lifting Basket, available directly from Craneplex. Designed specifically for the safe lifting and moving of personnel, this versatile access cage serves as a highly reliable transport basket and an access platform for performing critical work in hard-to-reach places.

Proudly manufactured in the EU, this premium man basket combines an innovative, easily transportable bolted design with strict adherence to the essential European safety standard for lifting personnel, giving operators and site managers complete peace of mind.

Innovative Bolted Design for Easy Transport

Unlike traditional, permanently welded access cages, the FR-S model features an innovative bolted steel construction. This intelligent design allows the basket to be easily assembled or disassembled into simple, flat-packed components by the end-user.

Relying only on basic instructions and non-specialised tools, your team can break down the basket without the need for a specialised service team. This drastically simplifies routine servicing, reduces transportation footprint between sites, and solves on-site storage space constraints.

Key Features & Operational Benefits

• Exceptional Durability: Features superior anti-corrosion protection through a combination of hot-dip galvanising and a high-quality spray-painted finish, ensuring extreme longevity even in harsh, weather-exposed industrial environments.
• Intelligent Floor Design: Equipped with a high-grip, anti-slip floor featuring an integrated water drainage system. This prevents hazardous pooling and ensures secure footing in all weather conditions.
• Operator Protection: Built with a robust protective ceiling to shield workers from falling debris, and an inward-opening access door equipped with a secure lock and automatic closing system to prevent accidental falls.
• Smooth Handling: Fitted with four durable polyurethane rollers on the sides. These guide the basket smoothly during vertical movement and prevent impact damage to delicate building facades.
• Ready for Rigging: Stabilised by gravity and supplied with an internal handrail and a set of 8 (4x2) round shackles (type UBX 3.25 t), specifically designed to work seamlessly with your standard 4-leg chain sling.

Uncompromising Safety & Quality Standards

When it comes to lifting personnel, safety is completely non-negotiable. The Bolted FR-S provides a highly secure working environment and is manufactured in strict adherence to specific European safety directives:

• BS EN 14502-1: Manufactured strictly and exclusively in accordance with this rigorous standard, which explicitly governs suspended equipment for the safe lifting of persons.
• EN 795 Anchor Points: The basket is engineered with certified anchor points (one for each user) complying with EN 795, allowing your personnel to securely attach their fall protection lanyards during the lift.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the main advantage of the bolted design?
The bolted construction allows the entire basket to be dismantled into flat components. This makes it significantly cheaper and easier to transport between different construction sites and allows it to be stored compactly when not in use, without requiring specialized tools to reassemble.

How many workers can safely use the FR-S basket?
The FR-S model is explicitly designed and rated to safely transport either 1 or 2 personnel at a time, with a total Working Load Limit (WLL) of 500 kg for the workers and their tools.

Is the lifting sling included with this model?
This model is supplied with the necessary 8 round shackles (UBX 3.25 t) to connect the basket to a lifting apparatus, but you will need to provide your own certified 4-leg chain sling to attach to your crane hook.

Are there tie-off points for safety harnesses?
Yes. The basket is equipped with dedicated EN 795 compliant anchor points one for each permitted user ensuring workers can safely secure their personal fall protection equipment.

What safety standard is this man basket manufactured to?
Lifting personnel requires strict adherence to highly regulated standards. The FR-S basket is manufactured strictly in accordance with BS EN 14502-1, the dedicated European standard for suspended equipment used to safely lift persons.
