Should I Get a Fork Slotted or Quick-Tach Work Platform?

What ever suits your machine! Keep in mind though that all of our work platforms come with fork slots, so that is generally your best option. If you would like a “Quick-Tach” option on your work platform, we can add them to certain models.

What Are The Fork Slot Dimensions?

It depends. Each model and manufacturer has different specifications for fork slot diameter. Your best bet is to download our “Work Platform Buyers Guide” where we have put together a chart with fork slot dimensions for each unit.
Custom fork slots are available on some units if you can’t find what you are looking for.

What Is The Weight Capacity Of a Work Platform?

Most of our work platforms are rated to 1,000lbs. We do have several options that are rated too 2,000lbs. It’s important to consider the capacity of your machine as well.

How Do I Store And Transport The Work Platform?

Some work platforms are designed to be easily collapsable without the use of tools. Some aren’t collapsable at all. If storing your platform is your main concern, then we recommend checking our buyers guide to find out more information.

Larger platforms may come with transportation fork slots or “loops” that can be used to lift the work platform length wise. This can be useful for navigating through tight doorways, entrances, and loading onto trailers. These Transportation pockets are strictly for transport only. Be sure to read your manual.

Do I need a High Back Railing?

If your work platform is going to be used on a mast style forklift, then yes you do. The purpose of this “railing” is to protect your workers in the platform from the forklift mast.

We have some work platform models with 60” high rails and some with over 80” of railing. The railing can be bought as an option on some models, and purchased later on if you need it.

What If I’m Using My Platform With a Genie Lift?

Just let us know before ordering. Some manufactures are happy to to paint your new work platform to match Genie colours, and put Genie decals on it.
