I was tired of standing on pallets to do elevated work. Earlier this year, I bought a grapple and when it was shipped to me it was inside a angle iron frame. The grapple weighed 600 lbs., and the frame didn't have any problem supporting the weight of it so I decided to make the angle Iron frame into a lift basket. My goal was to use my left over steel, wood, chain, and conduit to create it. The frame is 1/8" x 1-1/2" angle welded. I added reinforcing angle throughout and 1/8"x 4" toe board around entire base. The floor is made out of 2"x8" and 2"x6" boards. It's works fine for what I need it do around our place, like trimming tree branches, changing light bulbs, cleaning gutters, etc. This safety platform will be nice for loading storage boxes up on the loft. Hope you guys find this project interesting.
