we are about to use a forklift truck (next week) with a cage attachment to gain access to stock at high warehouse levels.
will the forklift truck have to have its last examination and thorough test date within 6 months as it will be lifting a person in the cage?
can somebody have a look at loler for me and give me safety cage recommendations as i am not at my usual place of work.
we do have a scissor lift but we cannot use it as the aisles are too narrow.

You are correct if a lift truck is used to lift people, with the lift cage it has to be inspected at least 6 month intervals

for further information on lifting platforms, have a look at Guidence Note PM28 Second edition. Working Platforms on Fork-Lift trucks.
hope this helps

A hobby horse this, amongst others, go to your local hire shop and get the right piece of equipment to do the job.
I am amazed that the HSE are still prepared to let this type of operation continue to be acceptable when the choices of kit are vaste. There are so many accidents doing work in this manner that it should have been stopped many moons ago.
You perhaps also need to look at what is happening to get to the high storage scenario without any particular thought for the work methods needed to access the area.

Hi Paul,
In the past I worked for a company who carried out this particular operation. There was one aspect of it that suprised me and that was that they had to send all the operatives who would be working in the cages on abseiling courses to provide them with a means of egress in case of emergency.
