The Forklift Access Cage - 2 Person Gated Safety Cage is designed for emergency or unscheduled work at height using a suitable forklift truck. Built for maintenance, inspection work, light repairs and short-duration access tasks, this forklift safety cage provides a secure platform for up to two operators in warehouses, factories, yards and industrial sites.
With a 1220mm x 1000mm platform, self-closing side gate, full-length fork pockets, heel locking system and anti-slip floor, this 2 person forklift access cage is a practical option where a larger working platform is required. It is designed in line with PM28 guidance for non-integrated working platforms.
2 Person Forklift Access Cage for Emergency Work at Height
This forklift access cage is designed for temporary elevated access where safe, short-duration work at height is required. Typical uses include high-level maintenance, inspection work, light fitting replacement, cleaning, repairs and other occasional tasks where a dedicated access platform may not be immediately practical.
The 2 person design provides more working space than a compact single person man cage, making it suitable for tasks where two operators are required or where additional room is needed for tools and equipment. The side gate allows easier access, while the self-closing and automatic locking design helps keep operators secure once inside the platform.

When to Use a Forklift Access Cage
A forklift access cage is intended for occasional, short-duration work at height where a suitable forklift truck is available and the task has been properly assessed. It is commonly used for urgent or unscheduled jobs where operators need temporary elevated access.
This type of forklift safety cage should not be treated as a replacement for purpose-built powered access equipment where planned or regular work at height is required. The correct access method should always be selected based on the task, site risk assessment, operator training and relevant safety guidance.
Safety and PM28 Compliance
This forklift access cage is designed in line with PM28 guidance for non-integrated working platforms. It includes a secure side gate, full-length fork pockets, heel locking system, anti-slip flooring, handholds, kick rails, harness anchorage points and protective back mesh to support safer operation during approved access tasks.
Only trained and authorised operators should use a forklift access cage. The cage must be correctly fitted and secured to the forklift forks before use, and the forklift truck must be suitable for the combined weight of the platform, operators and any tools or materials being carried.
Forklift Compatibility
Before ordering, check your forklift fork dimensions and fork spread against the specification table. This 2 person forklift access cage is suitable for fork sizes up to 160mm x 60mm, with a listed fork spread of 790mm.
The forklift truck must be in suitable working condition and capable of safely handling the access cage, operators and any equipment at the required lift height. Always check the forklift truck’s rated capacity, site conditions and operating procedures before use.
