TELEHANDLER & ZOOM BOOM MAN BASKETS

Telehandlers are one of the most widely used machines on Canadian farms, so we manufacture telehandler work platform man baskets, telehandler baskets, telehandler man baskets for sale, and complete telehandler with basket systems in multiple sizes, including 4 x 8, 4 x 9, and custom dimensions built to your needs.

Farmers rely on these baskets for a wide range of maintenance jobs such as roof repairs, grain system work, conveyor adjustments, barn upkeep, vent repairs, loft access, and many other structures that require safe overhead access.

Each basket is designed with reinforced steel construction, strong railings, secure entry points, and non-slip flooring to ensure dependable performance in rugged agricultural environments.

If your farm depends on a telehandler or zoom boom for daily operations, our custom-built man baskets provide the elevated access, safety features, and long-lasting durability needed to keep your work moving smoothly and efficiently.

BUILT IN ONTARIO WITH CANADIAN STEEL

Every lift we build starts with high-quality Canadian steel, sourced directly from mills in Brampton and brought to our fabrication shop in Thamesford, Ontario. Using Canadian-made steel ensures consistent quality, strength, and durability—something farmers across Ontario rely on when working in demanding agricultural environments. Each component of our man baskets is hand-built, carefully welded, and inspected to make sure every detail meets the highest standards for precision and long-term performance.

Whether you choose a 4 x 4, 4 x 9, 5 x 10, or a fully custom man basket designed specifically for your loader, forklift, telehandler, or tractor, every platform is engineered to handle the tough conditions found on Canadian farms. From freezing winters and wet springs to heavy use around livestock barns, grain setups, equipment yards, and field operations, our fabrication process ensures your lift will withstand harsh weather, constant vibration, and rugged day-to-day farm work.

We take pride in building equipment that supports real farmers who need dependable, long-lasting tools—not imported, lightweight cages that can’t handle the job. When you choose one of our forklift man baskets, loader man cages, telehandler platforms, or custom agricultural lift baskets, you’re getting Ontario-built equipment designed to last for years of reliable service on your farm.

OUR ROOTS IN THE AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY

Our company was built in Thamesford, Ontario, right in the heart of farm country, where we began by providing welding and fabrication services for essential agricultural equipment such as soil screeners, waste management systems, livestock equipment, and a wide range of farm machinery repairs. Working directly with farmers gave us a deep understanding of the challenges they face—equipment breaking down during peak seasons, hard-to-reach maintenance tasks, and the constant need for safe, dependable tools that can stand up to real farm work.

As our reputation grew, local farmers began asking for specialized platforms and lift solutions that weren’t available from big manufacturers. That demand led us to expand into custom man baskets, forklift platforms, telehandler work cages, and loader-mounted lift baskets built specifically for agricultural operations. Every design improvement we make comes directly from real farm feedback—producers who need stronger welds, better access points, more stable platforms, and equipment that performs reliably in barns, workshops, feed yards, and field environments.

Today, we continue to proudly support Ontario’s farmers and rural businesses by building equipment that helps them work safer, work faster, and keep their operations running efficiently year-round. From small family farms to large-scale ag operations, our goal remains the same: to provide tough, Canadian-built solutions that make daily farm work easier, safer, and more productive.
