Work platforms for forklifts safety cages & work platforms – TÜV-tested, DGUV-compliant
Forklift work platforms and safety cages for safe working at height – TÜV-tested, GS-certified and DGUV-compliant. For assembly, maintenance and inspection work on shelving, machines and buildings. Load capacities up to 300 kg, standing areas up to 1200×1200 mm, galvanised or painted.
Safety cages
Safety cages are simple, lightweight cages that are hooked onto the forklift's fork tines. They provide an enclosed standing place for up to two persons and are ideal for warehouse, shelving and inspection work at height. All models are TÜV-tested and DGUV-compliant.
MB-series work platforms
The MB-series work platforms have a fork holder at the base and offer a more generous, more stable standing area than simple cages. They are suitable for more demanding assembly work where more space or freedom of movement is needed. Available galvanised or painted, TÜV-tested and DGUV-compliant.
Safety platforms with a GS TÜV certificate
Safety platforms of the highest safety level with a GS mark and a TÜV certificate meet particularly high requirements for stability and personal protection. They are designed for applications where increased minimum load capacities of the lifting device are prescribed.
Safety & regulations
The lifting of persons with forklifts is generally only permitted with suitable, approved work platforms. All models in the range meet the relevant standards (DGUV, TÜV, GS mark). The forklift must have the required minimum load capacity for the total weight of the platform, persons and tools.

The right work platform for your forklift
Safety cage or work platform?
A safety cage (SIKO) hangs directly on the fork tines and is light, compact and affordable – ideal for warehouses and simple work at height. A work platform (MB series) has a fork holder at the base, sits more stably and offers more standing area – better for assembly and tool work. Both variants are TÜV-tested and DGUV-compliant.
Load capacity – mind the total weight
The permissible load capacity (240–300 kg) comprises the weight of all persons plus tools and material on the platform. The forklift must additionally carry the platform's own weight (58–120 kg). The required minimum load capacity of the lifting device is, depending on the model, 1190 to 1500 kg – always compare this with the forklift type.
Choose the standing area by application
The standing area determines how much space is available for persons and material. For one person with tools, the more compact 740×740 mm variant is sufficient. For two persons with material, 800×1200 mm or 1000×1200 mm are more suitable. The platform's external dimensions must also fit into the racking system or the work area.
Surface treatment
Galvanised: durably corrosion-resistant, ideal for damp environments and outdoor use. Hot-dip galvanised: the highest corrosion protection, long-lasting. Painted: for normal storage conditions in dry halls. The MB series is available in both variants on request.
Legal requirements
The transport of persons with forklifts is, according to DGUV Regulation 68, only permitted with suitable, approved work platforms. The GS mark and the TÜV test are the proof of conformity. The forklift must have the necessary minimum load capacity, and the driver must not leave the forklift during the transport of persons.
Typical areas of use
Work platforms for forklifts are proven for: loading and unloading shelving at a great height, the maintenance and inspection of machines and systems, assembly work on ceilings and walls, lighting and cable installation, as well as stocktaking and inventory in high-bay warehouses.
