What Should I Know Before I Buy a Rescue Crane Basket?

Important FAQs to help guide the buying process

1. There are 3 Components Needed to be Compliant.
   When lifting personnel overhead, you will need a crane basket, test weight and bridle. These excerpts are what you need to know regarding each product’s OSHA and ANSI requirements.
   • Basket:
     B56.1-2020-7.37.1 – Platforms used for elevating personnel shall have: (a) a slip resistant floor surface. (b) a minimum floor space of 450 mm x 450 mm (18 in x 18 in) for each platform occupant. (c) protection for personnel in their normal working position on the platform from moving parts of the truck that represent a hazard. (d) fall restraint means such as a guard rail or a personal fall protection system, whenever the platform can be elevated to a height greater than 1200mm (47.25”).
   • Test Weight:
     1926.1431(j)(1) – At each jobsite, prior to hoisting employees on the personnel platform, and after any repair or modification, the platform and rigging must be proof tested to 125% of the basket’s rated capacity. The proof test may be done concurrently with the trial lift.
     1926.1431(j)(2) – states platform must be lowered by controlled load lowering, braked, and held in a suspended position for 5 minutes with the test load evenly distributed on the platform.
     1926.1431(j)(3) – After proof testing, a competent person must inspect the platform and rigging.
   • Bridle:
     1926.1431(g)(3) – Rigging hardware (including wire rope, shackles, rings, master links, and other rigging hardware) and hooks must be capable of supporting, without failure, at least five times the maximum intended load applied or transmitted to that component. We offer a 5PT bridle with the 5th choker line attaching above the crane ball. Some Federal Projects require this 5th line and that is why we only offer 5pt for square and rectangular baskets and 4PT bridles for our round series baskets.
2. How Often Do I Need to Test My Basket?
   • 1926.1431(h)(1) A trial lift with the unoccupied personnel platform loaded at least to the anticipated lift weight must be made from the ground level, or any other location at which the platform is to be hoisted and positioned. Where there is more than one location to be reached from a single trial lift, in which the platform is moved sequentially to each location, must be performed; the method selected must be the same as the method that will be used to hoist the personnel.
   • 1926.1431(h)(2)
     The trial lift must be performed immediately prior to each shift in which personnel will be hoisted. In addition, the trial lift must be repeated prior to hoisting employees in each of the following circumstances:
     • 1926.1431(h)(2)(i) – The equipment is moved and set up in a new location or returned to a previously used location.
     • 1926.1431(h)(2)(ii) – The lift route is changed, unless the competent person determines that the new route presents no new factors affecting safety.
3. What Size Gurney Will Fit in This Basket?
   The inside dimension are 38″W x 93″L which will fit a standard gurney +1 personnel. These are anchor points in the floor to secure the gurney.
4. Do Koke Products Meet These Requirements?
