CRANE WORKBOXES
Make Sure it’s Safe
As safety is the highest priority, Nobles crane workboxes have
been assessed by Workplace Services in South Australia to be
totally compliant to AS 1418.17. Reciprocal registration is
available in the other states as required.
Workboxes are for use only in those situations where it is
necessary to convey personnel with tools and work materials
to a work location by crane in accordance with AS 2550.1.
Please consult state Work Cover or OH&S authorities for local
requirements.
NZWB30500
WARNING
• Always ensure that the crane used is of sufficient capacity at the
radius of use.
• Never use workboxes in proximity to live equipment.
• Fall arrest harnesses are required for occupants.
• Cranes used must be properly maintained and checked in
accordance with AS 2550.1 and local regulations.
• Workboxes are only for situations where it is necessary to
transport personnel by crane and shall not be used as permanent
substitutes for more appropriate transport means.
• A competent person shall check the crane cage and all lifting
attachments. All connections shall be checked prior to lift.

made. Proper precautions for working at height shall be made.

FORKLIFT WORKBOXES
Don’t Risk a Fall
There is no need to climb over racks and equipment or risk
serious injury riding a pallet or fork tyne. A forklift can become a
handy tool for accessing stock and equipment that is out of reach
if it is used with the right equipment.
Lightweight to Suit 2 Tonne Forklifts
Nobles have achieved a design that is light enough but more rigid
and sturdy than some other common designs available. We have
retained a door and a practical design that features a front
handrail which aids in occupant safety whilst improving lateral
strength and our cages achieve the highest standards of
manufacture and general quality.
Custom Made Forklift Personnel Workboxes
As with all Nobles engineered products if there is a special
requirement for a Forklift Personnel Workbox we can custom
design to suit a particular application or customer specification
and to be fully compliant with relevant safety standards.
COMPLIANCE CHECKLIST
WARNING
• Always ensure that forklifts are properly maintained and in good
condition.
• Never use Forklift Personnel Cages in proximity to live
equipment.
• Fall arrest harnesses may be required for some applications –
check with your local Work Cover or OH&S authorities.
• Always ensure that forklift operators are properly licensed and
competent.
• Always operate forklifts within their stability range to avoid
rollovers.
• Please drive carefully as forklift collisions pose the greatest
hazard to Forklift Personnel Cages occupants.

HARNESSES
TO AS/NZS 1891.1
Height safety products such as harnesses, lanyards, fall arrestors,
ladder safety and rescue systems are all available through Nobles.
Nobles is a Capital Safety distributor and we stock and
recommend the DBI-SALA and Protecta range of products.
A = Anchorage
The anchorage is the secure point of attachment for the fall arrest
system. The appropriate type of anchorage varies by industry, the
job being performed, the type of installation and the structure
available, but it must be able to withstand fall arrest forces. The
anchorage connector provides a means of attaching the system to
the anchorage.
B = Body Support
The full-body harness provides the necessary body support with
straps that fasten around the user and distribute fall arrest forces
over the upper thighs, pelvis, chest and shoulders.
C = Connectors
A connector, such as a shock-absorbing lanyard or self-retracting
lifeline, is a device that links the user’s full-body harness to an
anchorage. When used with a fall restraint system, the connector
must be short enough so that the worker cannot reach a fall
hazard.
D = Descent/Rescue

LANYARDS
Every DBI-SALA lanyard combines super strength and ease of use
without sacrificing safety. All lanyard hardware is proof tested to
meet or exceed industry standards.
DBI-SALA’s range of fall arrest rated shock absorbing lanyards are
designed to quickly and effectively arrest a fall, whilst minimising
shock loads on the body. The key to DBI-SALA’s lanyards is the
shock absorbing unit that utilises a controlled tearing action when
subjected to a fall, limiting the arresting forces to under 6kN. The
shock pack features a transparent casing designed to make visual
inspection easier for the user.
DBI-SALA lanyards are manufactured in a wide range to suit your
specific needs and applications. They are available in either single
or double tail configurations constructed from webbing
(elasticated, non-elasticated, adjustable and tie-back), wire or
rope; with a combination of hooks and karabiners.
