    So after posting Birds eye view I decided I should make something a bit more secure and safer for elevated work. Had a few pieces of leftover advantex from our remodel project, and some treated lumber So I used the pallet I had as a base and constructed from there. Besides are about 34 in tall and I made the front piece so I could lift it out for easy access of getting in and out. Turned out pretty good.

    Are you securing the work platform to the backrest so it doesnt tip off the end of forks?

    Come on one safety step at a time.

    Yes definitely will when it is in use. Already thinking how I want to do it. Ratchet straps will work but thinking something more permanent to the basket.

    Sorry, I didn't intend to push so hard. The road to safety is a long one. :quad:

    I was only joking with that comment.
