Description
Compact access for half-height baskets and waste skips
The Mini Basket Access Platform is designed to provide a defined way for personnel to enter and leave half-height baskets and waste skips. Its compact format is intended for congested decks and confined work areas where improvised hop-ups or unsecured step ladders are not an appropriate access plan. The platform remains task-specific equipment: compatibility with the basket frame, available clearance, entry height and site access procedure must all be checked before use.
When the mini platform fits
The official manufacturer page presents the Mini version as a lightweight, relocatable alternative within the Basket Access Platform range. It is suited to locations where the larger adjustable platform is unnecessary or cannot be positioned. Before choosing it, measure the basket or skip, identify the intended entry side and confirm that the clamps can engage the box frame as designed. Do not select only because the product is called “mini.”
Selection and compatibility checks
Provide the frame dimensions, access height, surrounding obstructions and expected operating location. Confirm the available footprint, handrail clearance and the route used to bring the platform into position. The public page does not publish platform dimensions, a user weight limit or an adjustable height range. OHS USA should obtain current dimensional and capacity information where those values are required for the risk assessment.
Manufacturer data and features
- Product code OHSAC02 in the official Offshore Handling Systems catalogue.
- Manufacturer-listed product weight of 24 kg.
- Robust box-iron construction.
- Locking clamps intended to secure the platform to the basket box frame.
- Anti-slip grip on the ladder rungs and fiberglass anti-slip grating.

The manufacturer page references BS 2037:1994(R08). Treat this as the wording of the published source, not as independent certification or confirmation that it satisfies a project’s current local requirements.
Setup and access guidance
Place the platform on a stable surface and align it with the approved entry point. Engage the locking clamps with the basket frame and verify that the platform cannot shift before anyone climbs. Keep the approach and landing areas clear, use the handrail and maintain three points of contact where the site procedure requires it. Recheck the setup if the basket, skip or platform is moved. The product’s 24 kg mass also needs to be considered in the manual-handling plan.
Safety and use limitations
- Use only with a compatible half-height basket or waste skip and an approved access procedure.
- Do not use the platform until the locking clamps are correctly engaged and verified.
- Do not infer a user capacity, platform dimension or environmental rating from the public page.
- Inspect the frame, rungs, grating, handrail and clamps before use.
- Follow site rules for work at height, dropped objects, manual handling and confined access.
