⚙️ Key Features
- Model 1244B — 42"×48" platform deck
- 1,000 lb rated capacity
- Full perimeter guardrail with self-closing spring gate
- Includes 42"×84" two-piece mast protection screen (Model 1250)
- Expanded metal deck — non-slip, drains moisture
- Lanyard tie-down points
- Slip-on-forks — straight-mast forklifts
- Meets/exceeds ANSI | 5-year factory guarantee | USA since 1981
🔑 Benefits
- Mast protection screen is required for OSHA compliance on straight-mast forklifts — included standard — straight-mast forklifts have a moving inner mast that travels adjacent to the platform during lift. OSHA and ASME B56.1 require a mast protection screen to prevent personnel contact with this moving element. The 1244B includes the 1250 screen, avoiding the separate purchase and compatibility issue.
- Expanded metal deck provides traction in wet warehouse conditions — solid plate decks become slippery when wet. Expanded metal drains water and provides consistent footing.
- Self-closing spring gate prevents the common oversight of an unlatched gate during elevated work
- Slip-on-forks design eliminates the modification cost of dedicated platform forklifts

❓ FAQs
|
Q: What is the difference between the 1244B and the 1204C/1206C/1208C platforms?
The 1244B is an Industrial Work Platform for straight-mast warehouse forklifts, includes the required mast protection screen (1250), and is sized for indoor maintenance tasks (42"×48"). The 1204C/1206C/1208C series are Safety Work Platforms for rough-terrain and extendable-reach telehandlers — they do not require a mast protection screen and are available in larger sizes (4'×4' through 4'×8').Choose 1244B for indoor warehouse straight-mast lift trucks. Choose 1204C/1206C/1208C for outdoor rough-terrain telehandlers. |
|
Q: Is the mast protection screen (Model 1250) included?
Yes — the 1244B includes the Model 1250 two-piece 42"×84" mast protection screen. The screen is required for OSHA compliance when elevating personnel on straight-mast forklifts and is included as standard with the 1244B. |
|
Q: What is the mast protection screen for?
The inner carriage of a straight-mast forklift travels vertically past the work platform during lift operations. Without a screen, platform occupants can contact the moving inner mast — a potentially fatal hazard. OSHA 1910.178 and ASME B56.1 require this protection for personnel platforms on straight-mast lift trucks. |
|
Q: What ANSI standard does this meet?
The 1244B meets ANSI/ITSDF B56.1 requirements for personnel platforms used with powered industrial trucks. Confirm specific OSHA requirements for your jurisdiction before use. |
|
Q: Can I use the 1244B on a telehandler?
No — the 1244B is designed for straight-mast forklifts. For telehandlers, use the 1204C (4'×4'), 1206C (4'×6'), or 1208C (4'×8') Safety Work Platforms which are engineered for extendable-reach forklift use. |
