Sometimes I need a platform where I don't have one. Decided to try this out with excavator forks and it works well. It comes with a chain to prevent it from falling off but I also use some ratchet straps to tighten it further and provide an extra little peace of mind. It is then rock solid and doesn't budge. Using it in this way, I do not move the cage with someone in it. I put it where is needed and then use a ladder to get up. The ladder fits perfectly between the fork ends that extend past the front of the cage. A couple of upgrades I might add would be to have the mesh on the sides other than just the back and a toolbox of some sort. The wheels on this model are nice to roll it around when not on the forks.
