The platform can be used on almost every JLG made telehandler

The new fork-mounted unit can be quickly installed and securely locked in place providing increased versatility by reducing the need for various types of equipment.

JLG says that in the absence of an aerial work platform, the personnel work platform provides a safe approach to lift workers to difficult to reach areas. When used on JLG brands of telehandlers it allows workers to be lifted as high as 55 feet on rough terrain sites where access with alternative equipment could be difficult.

The 32 sq foot platform has a capacity of 450kg which comfortably and safely holds two people. The platform features a swing gate entry with a removable front panel for easy entry and exit. The platform has sturdy steel mesh flooring and eight lanyard attachment points.

It is compliant with the requirements of ANSI/ITSDF B56.6-2005.
