Forklift Stand Add-On

[Pine Strip]

A welder friend whipped this up for a customer. Looks like the real deal for being a handy add-on.

Yea, OSHA will love it.

The **** with OSHA, that thing is awesome!

Yep, a lot better than mine!

It only goes nine feet up.

Spent the last 35 years or so tryin' to find a way to get the job done in SPITE of OSHA - Not ALL bad, but it was obvious whoever came up with some of that stuff had never actually DONE the job.

For those who haven't seen it, here's just ONE of the more popular anti-OSHA posters... Steve

LOL. I was going to make something similar but I found this one on craigslist locally for $200 and couldn't build one for that soooo....

OSHA wouldn't have been all that excited about my using the bucket of my FEL to stand in to chainsaw a tree either. But then that was me at home, not working for a commercial enterprise. Body harness, drop line, and helmet, and

A lot of what OSHA does goes a long way to preventing institutional stupidity. I do recognize that all that regulation comes with a significant and detrimental cost to business. So do employee injuries and deaths.

$200 for a basket that size is pretty good. I built a smaller one this summer with scrounged and salvaged material, didn't cost anything but welding and sanding consumables. Even the paint for the welds was free partial cans. It's 30x48, a bit tight for two people but keeps the cg better for off pavement ops, and it's the size of the catwalk I had for the base.

I've got some lightweight expanded metal, might put some of that in the back to keep things in or out, as the case may be.

It looks really nice - but I think too wide for my comfort - it will sway and twist too much for me when out on the edge.

I'd say it looks plenty safe and well built though.
