Tips for Choosing Lift Baskets
- Size the basket to the loadCompare inside width, length and height against the parts you need to carry.
- Choose the capacityPick a series rated above your heaviest load: 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 or 4,000 lbs.
- Decide on castersCasters let baskets roll by hand; forklift-only baskets sit flat and stable.
- Check fork pocket spacingMake sure your forklift forks fit the basket fork pockets.
- Secure the loadKeep loads inside the basket walls and never ride in a lift basket.
- Plan storageStackable layouts and dollies keep baskets organized when not in use.
