Description
Adjustable access for half-height baskets and waste skips
The full-size Basket Access Platform is designed to provide a stable, defined access route into compatible half-height baskets and waste skips. The manufacturer presents it as an alternative to unsecured step ladders and improvised hop-ups. Adjustable legs allow the platform to accommodate a range of basket heights, while clamps connect it to the basket box frame. Selection still requires an exact compatibility review for the basket, work area and access procedure.
Where the full-size platform fits
This version is intended for applications that need more height adjustment and platform features than the Mini Basket Access Platform. The official page lists an adjustable range from 1200 mm to 1600 mm. That range relates to the platform legs and should not be treated as proof that every basket within those dimensions is compatible. Frame profile, approach space, ground condition and handrail clearance also matter.
Planning the correct configuration
Measure the basket or skip frame, entry height, usable footprint and obstructions on both sides of the planned access point. Identify whether the platform will be moved manually or with site equipment and how it will be stored. Confirm that the locking clamps can engage the box frame and that the leg adjustment can be secured at the required height. The manufacturer page does not publish a user capacity or total product weight.

Setup and access guidance
Place the platform on a stable surface, adjust the legs to the approved height and secure every adjustment point. Engage the locking clamps with the basket frame before access. Verify that all feet are supported and that the handrails, rungs and landing path are clear. Reinspect the setup after relocation. The installed crane lifting points do not by themselves authorize lifting personnel or moving the platform while occupied.
Safety and use limitations
- Confirm basket-frame compatibility and use the platform only in an approved access plan.
- Lock the leg adjustments and basket clamps before personnel use.
- Do not infer a user capacity, lifting method or wind limit that is not published.
- Inspect the frame, feet, grating, rungs, rails, clamps and lifting points before use.
- Follow local requirements for access, work at height, manual handling and equipment lifting.
Official documentation
Selection support in the Americas
OHS USA can help determine whether the adjustable OHSAC01 or compact OHSAC02 platform better fits the task. Provide the basket or skip type, box-frame dimensions, entry height, floor condition, access clearance, handling method, worksite, quantity and applicable documentation requirements. Request current capacity and dimensional information whenever it is needed for project approval.
Frequently asked questions
What height range is listed?
The manufacturer page lists adjustable legs for basket heights from 1200 mm to 1600 mm.
How does the platform attach to the basket?
Locking clamps are designed to secure it to the basket box frame. The actual frame must be checked for compatibility.
Can personnel be lifted using the crane lifting points?
The public page does not authorize personnel lifting. The points are listed as product features and must be used only under the current manufacturer and site procedure.
When should the Mini version be considered?
Consider the Mini platform where compact access and relocation are priorities and the full adjustable height range is not required.
Is a user capacity published online?
No. Request the current manufacturer data needed for the planned access assessment.
