Arbeitskörbe

Arbeitskörbe, also known as man baskets or aerial work platforms, are attachments designed to lift personnel safely to elevated positions for work. They are typically suspended from a crane or other lifting equipment and provide a stable platform for workers. These baskets are commonly used in construction, maintenance, tree trimming, and inspection tasks where access to heights is required.

Safety is paramount when using Arbeitskörbe. They are engineered with features such as guardrails, toe boards, and non-slip surfaces to prevent falls. Restraint systems, like safety harnesses, are usually mandatory for occupants. Regulations often dictate the design, testing, and usage of these baskets to ensure worker safety. Load capacity, wind limitations, and the integrity of the suspension system are critical considerations.

Arbeitskörbe come in various configurations to suit different applications. Some are simple platforms, while others include tool storage or even weather protection. They are an alternative to scaffolding or other aerial access methods, offering greater mobility and sometimes quicker setup times. Proper training for operators and users of Arbeitskörbe is essential to prevent accidents and ensure efficient work execution. Regular inspection and maintenance of the basket and its lifting apparatus are also vital components of safe operation.
