Abstract
Embodiments of a personnel basket for attachment to a crane boom include folding sidewall sections; a rear wall connected to the sidewall sections; a front wall in pivotal connection to one of the folding sidewall sections; a floor in pivotal relation to the rear wall; a stalk integral to the rear wall and including a boom connection; and a cam or stop that transmits floor loads to the stalk. Because of the pivotal relationships, the personnel basket is moveable or foldable in a connected or assembled condition between a deployed (unfolded) state and a folded (fully collapsed) state. When in the deployed and folded states, the walls and floor remain connected to the personnel basket, the walls sharing a same orientation, the floor pivoting toward and away from the rear wall between a horizontal and vertical orientation.
