Safety cage

[/pine]

as for the hyd lines blowing well whats that old saying ( **** happens ) hopefully it won't . I guess before i get into it I'll cross my heart and hope NOT to die .

On a similar thread another poster cited using check valves to prevent "some" possible accidents caused by hydraulic failures...

I agree. How high does the loader lift. I made one out of a pallet once but it rotted and became firewood. Some day I weld a steel one, or just borrow my grandpa's scissor lift.

GREEN ? sorry green and orange clash unless you loved the 80"s lol. The loader lift's too about 6 feet.

I've always thought that the hazard of lifting in a bucket was the danger of blowing lines or someone bumping the joystick. I've heard of checkvalves on excavator lines but don't know how they work. I do know that modern man-lifts always have a secondary support system in case of line failure.

The fact is it is only 6 feet off the ground so the chances of getting hurt is less than trying to balance yourself in the bucket 6 feet in the air.

Looks great.

Personally I would not trust it (especially the operator lifting you up and down, all around). I believe too many things can go wrong. I've hit my FEL stick many a times abruptly only to see the bucket go down quick.

I read another post on here, they found the guy sandwiched between the cage and the underside of his eave on the house.

Perhaps you might want to take the "Safety" out of the title. Cage.
