Safety Work Platform for Telehandlers - Star Industries

📘 Overview

The Star Industries telehandler work platform turns a rough-terrain or extendable-reach forklift into an aerial work platform, reaching over obstructions and into places a scissor lift cannot go. Four platform sizes are offered — 1204C at 4 ft x 4 ft, 1206C at 4 ft x 6 ft, 1208C at 4 ft x 8 ft and 1210C at 4 ft x 9 ft 8 in — and every one is rated for 1,000 lb. The expanded metal deck gives a wider standing area than a boom lift basket, and the modular guardrail system with self-closing spring gates and lanyard tie-down points is what makes this forklift man basket safe to work from. Universal slip-on-forks mounting fits both straight-mast and extended-reach machines.

⚙ Key Features of the Star Industries Telehandler Work Platform

🔑 Why Buyers Choose the Star Industries Telehandler Work Platform

• Four sizes instead of three lets you match deck to crew — 1204C for one worker and tools, 1206C for two, 1208C for a crew with materials, and 1210C at 4 ft x 9 ft 8 in for glazing, cladding and long-panel work that will not fit an 8 ft deck.
• Modular guardrails replace individually — a damaged rail on a welded platform means replacing the platform. Here the 1204C-071 top rail or 1204C-072 mid rail is a part, and the gate hinge, latch handle and gate post are all separately available.
• Self-closing spring gates remove the commonest human error at height — a gate left unlatched after entry closes itself, every time, regardless of how distracted or tired the operator is.
• Expanded metal drains instead of holding water — solid plate decking becomes slippery when wet or muddy, which is the normal condition on a rough-terrain site. The open deck keeps footing predictable.
• Rails lay flat inside the platform for travel — the platform moves at normal machine height rather than as an overheight load, and no disassembly is needed to do it.
• Platform empty weight counts against your load chart — 346 lb for the 1204C up to 629 lb for the 1210C, before occupants and tools. Subtract it from the rated capacity at your working height and reach.

🔗 What Else the Work Platform Needs

On straight-mast forklifts a mast protection screen is required to keep personnel clear of the moving inner mast — order model 1250, 3.5 ft x 7 ft. A 5/16" safety chain assembly, part 1000-0117, fits the 1204C, 1206C, 1208C and 1210C and wraps the fork carriage as a secondary restraint. Complete guardrail assemblies and individual rails, gates, hinges and latches are available for every platform size.

🚜 Which Forklifts Fit This Telehandler Work Platform?

Mounting is universal slip-on-the-forks. The platform fits any straight-mast or extended-reach forklift with a carriage 48 inches or wider running forks 48 inches long, and accepts forks up to 7 inches wide and 2 3/4 inches thick. A Quick-Tach version is available and must be used if the machine runs forks longer than 48 inches. Before lifting personnel, confirm your machine manufacturer permits personnel lifting with a work platform, fit the retaining pins and safety chain, and on straight-mast machines install the 1250 mast protection screen.
