Forklift work platforms provide proven, certified, and trusted solutions for safe personnel access at height. Engineered for durability and compliance, these platforms are designed to securely attach to forklifts for maintenance, inspection, and elevated work tasks in industrial environments.
Built for safety and performance, forklift work platforms support warehousing, manufacturing, and facility maintenance operations. Each unit is designed to improve operator protection while enabling efficient access to hard-to-reach areas.
Backed by decades of proven experience in Australian material handling engineering, East West Engineering delivers forklift work platforms you can trust for safety, compliance, and dependable performance on site.
A forklift work platform is a purpose-designed safety attachment used with a forklift to safely elevate personnel for short-duration maintenance and inspection tasks. At East West Engineering, our forklift work platforms are engineered to meet stringent safety requirements, including AS 2359.1, ensuring reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.
Forklift work platforms are used for occasional elevated work where a full scissor lift or EWP is not practical. Typical applications include warehouse maintenance, lighting repairs, equipment servicing, and general facility upkeep where safe, temporary access is required.
Our forklift work platforms are engineered with multiple safety features including self-closing gates, fork locking systems, harness anchor points. These features are developed through practical engineering experience to reduce risk and support safe working at height in industrial environments.
All East West Engineering forklift work platforms are designed and engineered in accordance with Australian Standard AS 2359.1, which governs the safe design and use of forklift attachments.
With over 45 years of manufacturing experience in Australia, our work platforms are developed through extensive engineering knowledge, industry experience and product refinement. Our design and production expertise ensures every unit is built not only for compliance, but for dependable performance in demanding industrial environments.
Compliance with AS 2359.1 provides confidence that the equipment meets nationally recognised safety requirements, while our in-house engineering and manufacturing capability ensures a high level of design integrity, durability, and practical functionality based on decades of operational feedback and product evolution.
East West Engineering offers a range of forklift work platforms designed for different operational needs, including:
Each model is engineered to balance safety, usability, and workplace efficiency.
Collapsible models like the FWP25C are designed for easy storage, transport, and fast assembly. They are ideal for businesses that require occasional use and need to maximise space efficiency when the platform is not in operation.
Most forklift work platforms are designed to safely carry up to two people, depending on the model. Always ensure the combined load of personnel, tools, and equipment does not exceed the platform’s rated working load limit (WLL).
