Star Industries Safety Work Platforms

Turn your forklift into an aerial work platform and safely go where scissor lifts can’t with a Star Industries Safety Work Platform.

The expanded metal deck provides a wider work platform for forklifts than boom lifts, and the 1,000 lbs platform load capacity and full perimeter guard rail system offer superior safety.

• Strong and rigid modular component guardrail eliminates loose movement and allows for easy replacement of individual guard rails should damage occur.
• Guard rails can be easily removed and laid flat inside platform for transportation.
• Spring loaded latches and spring hinges means gates automatically close for increased safety.
• Expanded metal deck with 1,000 lbs platform capacity provides safe work area.
• Universal ‘slip-on-forks’ for easy attachment. Suitable for both extended reach and straight mask forklifts with a 48' or wider carriage and 48' long forks. Accepts forks up to 7' wide and 2¾' thick.
• Quick-Tach option available (forklift must have quick-tach connector). Always use if forklift is equipped with forks longer than 48'.
• Optional 42” wide x 84” tall mast protection screen (model 1250) protects operator from forklift mast moving parts.
• Meets/exceeds ANSI standards.

• Reach over obstructions and access places where scissor lifts can’t
• This work platform attachment is faster and cheaper than scaffold
• Self-closing gates, rigid modular guardrails and lanyard tie down points for increased operator safety
