📘 Overview
The Star Industries Safety Work Platform for telehandlers and rough-terrain forklifts provides elevated personnel access using your existing telehandler — without the cost and logistics of a separate aerial work platform. Available in three platform sizes: 1204C (4'×4', 350 lbs), 1206C (4'×6', 425 lbs), and 1208C (4'×8', 500 lbs) — all rated for 1,000 lbs and featuring the full perimeter guardrail system with spring-loaded self-closing gates, lanyard tie-down points, and the slip-on-forks design that fits virtually all straight-mast and extendable-reach telehandlers. Meets/exceeds ANSI standards. 5-year factory guarantee. USA since 1981.
⚙️ Key Features
- 1204C: 4'×4' | 350 lbs | 1,000 lb capacity
- 1206C: 4'×6' | 425 lbs | 1,000 lb capacity
- 1208C: 4'×8' | 500 lbs | 1,000 lb capacity
- Full perimeter guardrail system — self-closing spring-loaded gates
- Safety lanyard tie-down points standard
- Expanded metal deck — wider than boom lift platforms
- Slip-on-forks design — universal fit for straight-mast and extendable-reach forklifts
- Guard rails lay flat inside platform for transport
- Meets/exceeds ANSI standards | 5-year factory guarantee | USA since 1981
🔑 Benefits
- Three platform sizes allow matching workspace to job requirements — the 4'×4' (1204C) is sufficient for a single worker performing electrical, HVAC, or framing connections. The 4'×6' (1206C) comfortably accommodates two workers and tools for tilt-wall bracing, structural steel connections, and masonry work. The 4'×8' (1208C) provides full work crew access for roofing edges, cladding installation, and large panel work.
- Expanded metal deck provides traction in wet conditions where solid plate decks become hazardous — solid plate decking becomes as slippery as ice when wet or muddy on rough-terrain job sites. Expanded metal allows water and mud to drain through the deck surface, maintaining traction for workers during outdoor elevated work in variable weather conditions.
- Self-closing spring gates prevent the human failure mode of forgetting to close the gate — safety regulations require closed guardrail gates during elevated work. Spring-loaded self-closing gates eliminate the reliable human error of leaving a gate open after entry — the gate closes automatically every time, regardless of operator distraction or fatigue.
- Guard rails fold flat for transport, enabling the platform to travel on the telehandler without overheight load — removing or folding guardrails for travel is a critical operational requirement on telehandler platforms. The Star design allows rail-down travel position without disassembly, reducing setup time significantly versus platforms requiring rail removal for transport.

🔗 Attachment Compatibility
Slip-on-forks design is compatible with straight-mast and extendable-reach forklifts and telehandlers. Confirm your machine's fork dimensions and carriage width accommodate the platform. Must use safety chain around fork carriage and install retaining pins before elevating. DO NOT use to carry or elevate personnel on a rough-terrain forklift without confirming machine manufacturer approval for personnel lifting.
🚜 Machine Compatibility
Compatible with forklifts and telehandlers — slides onto standard fork tines:
| Toyota | Crown | Hyster | Yale |
| Cat | Clark | JLG | SkyTrak |
Slip-on-forks fits most telehandlers and extendable-reach forklifts. Confirm machine manufacturer allows personnel lifting with a work platform before use. Must use safety chain.
❓ FAQs
|
Q: What is the difference between the 1204C Safety Work Platform and the 1244B Industrial Work Platform?
The 1244B Industrial Work Platform is designed for straight-mast warehouse forklifts (mast-type industrial lift trucks) and includes a built-in 84"" mast protection screen required for working near the moving mast components. The 1204C/1206C/1208C Safety Work Platforms are designed for rough-terrain and extendable-reach telehandlers and straight-mast forklifts where the operator is not in proximity to a moving inner mast. Select the 1244B for indoor warehouse forklifts; select the 1204C series for telehandlers and rough-terrain outdoor forklifts. |
|
Q: Can this platform be used on a Skytrak, JLG, or Genie telehandler?
The slip-on-forks design is compatible with most extendable-reach telehandlers including Skytrak, JLG, and Genie models with standard fork carriages. Confirm the telehandler manufacturer's policy on personnel lifting with third-party work platforms before use — some manufacturers require specific approved platform models. Contact eSkidSteer at 866-757-8337 for machine-specific compatibility confirmation. |
|
Q: Which size platform should I choose?
1204C (4'×4'): one worker with tools — ideal for electrical, HVAC, and light installation work. 1206C (4'×6'): two workers with tools — suited for tilt-wall bracing, structural connections, and masonry work at height. 1208C (4'×8'): full work crew with materials — suited for roofing edges, cladding, large panel, and crew-intensive tasks at elevation. |
|
Q: Are guardrails removable for transport?
The guardrails can be removed and laid flat inside the platform for transport, reducing overall height during machine travel. Spring-loaded self-closing gates are built into the perimeter guardrail system. The 5-year guarantee covers the full platform assembly including the guardrail system. |
|
Q: What ANSI standard does this platform meet?
The Star Industries Safety Work Platform series meets and exceeds ANSI/ITSDF B56.1 requirements for personnel platforms used with powered industrial trucks. Confirm your specific jurisdiction's safety regulations and machine manufacturer requirements before use in personnel-elevated applications. |
