📘 Overview
The Haugen forklift man basket built specifically for mast style forklifts (MHP Handyman Platform) is not telehandlers. A 60" tall high back is standard, because on a mast machine the carriage rises alongside the mast and an occupant needs protection from it.
Two sizes, 4x4 and 4x6, both rated 1,000 lbs. One inward swinging door. Standard pocket size 2-1/2" x 7-1/2". Meets or exceeds OSHA standards.

🏭 Why This Is a Different Platform From the Telehandler Range
Haugen builds work platforms for telehandlers and rough terrain forklifts, and this one for mast style forklifts. The difference is not marketing.
A telehandler carries the platform on a boom that reaches out and up. A mast forklift raises the carriage vertically along the mast itself, which puts the mast directly beside the occupant as the platform rises. The 60" high back mesh is what prevents accidental contact with the mast, and it is standard here rather than an option.
If you are running a telehandler or extendable reach forklift, the MWP Industrial Work Platform range is the one designed for it. If you are running a mast machine, this is.
⚖ The One-Third Rule Applies Here Too
The platform is rated 1,000 lbs, but your lift truck usually sets the lower limit. The combined weight of platform, people and material must not exceed one third of the lift truck's capacity at the 24" load centre.
Worked through on a 4x6: a 6,000 lb machine gives 2,000 lbs, less the platform's 517 lbs, leaving just under 1,500 lbs for people and tools. Two workers and their equipment fits comfortably; the machine is the constraint on smaller lift trucks.
🚪 The Inward Swinging Door
The door swings in rather than out, which matters on a raised platform. An outward door can be pushed open by contact with racking or structure; an inward door cannot open under that kind of pressure. Close and pin it before elevating.
🚜 Mast Forklift Compatibility
Built for mast style forklifts. Standard fork pockets are 2-1/2" x 7-1/2" — measure your tines against that.
425 or 517 lbs empty. Apply the one-third rule against your lift truck's rated capacity at the 24" load centre, and confirm the machine manufacturer permits work platform use.
❓ Forklift Man Basket FAQs
Is this for a telehandler or a forklift?
Mast style forklifts. The 60" high back is standard because a mast rises directly beside the occupant. For telehandlers and extendable reach forklifts, the MWP Industrial Work Platform range is the correct product.
Why is the high back standard here?
It prevents accidental contact with the mast as the carriage rises. On a telehandler there is no mast beside the platform, which is why it is an option there and standard here.
How much can it hold?
1,000 lbs rated, but the one-third rule usually governs: platform, people and material together must stay within a third of your lift truck's capacity at the 24" load centre.
Which size should I choose?
4x4 at 425 lbs or 4x6 at 517 lbs, both rated 1,000 lbs. The larger gives more working room; the smaller leaves more of your capacity for people and tools.
Will it fit my forks?
Standard pockets are 2-1/2" x 7-1/2". Measure your tine section against that figure.
Why does the door swing inward?
An outward door can be forced open by contact with racking or structure while the platform is raised. An inward door cannot. Close and pin it before elevating.
