The accident rescue cage is a crane-suspended stretcher cage for bringing a casualty down from height. It carries 2 persons, one casualty on a stretcher and one attendant, and is lifted by the crane through 4 lifting lugs. Also called a crane rescue cage or crane evacuation cage, it suits principal contractors, lifting coordinators and crane hire firms who need to build a crane-based rescue method into the site emergency arrangements.
The overall size is 983mm wide, 2590mm long and 2125mm high. The 2590mm length allows for a stretcher, with the attendant riding alongside the casualty.
- Capacity: 2 persons (1 casualty on a stretcher and 1 attendant)
- SWL (safe working load): 250kg
- Lifting points: 4 crane lifting lugs
- Overall size: 983 x 2590 x 2125mm (W x L x H)
- Self weight: 326kg
Allowing for the cage weight in the lift plan
The cage weighs 326kg and has a 250kg SWL, so the suspended load can reach 576kg before any chains, slings or shackles are added. Crane capacity at the working radius, the lifting set and the lift plan are for your appointed person to confirm. Check at the time of ordering whether a chain or sling set is needed, as this is not part of the stated specification.
Rescue cage or personnel access cage
This cage is for casualty evacuation. Planned work at height, where people are lifted to a working position and back, is covered by the crane-suspended personnel access cages in the same range. Crane-lifted goods carrying cages and materials baskets are separate products for moving loads, not people. In the wider man riding equipment family, the stretcher cage is the unit kept for rescue.
Typical uses
The cage is used for casualty rescue on sites served by tower cranes or mobile cranes, including injured workers on scaffolding, steel frames and upper floors. It also suits excavations, industrial plant, and bridge or tunnel works where a ground-level evacuation route is impractical.

How many people does the cage carry?
It carries 2 persons: one casualty on a stretcher and one attendant. The overall length is 2590mm, so check your own stretcher type against the cage dimensions before ordering.
What weight should the lift plan allow for?
The cage weighs 326kg and the SWL is 250kg, giving a suspended load of up to 576kg before the lifting set is added. The appointed person confirms crane capacity at the working radius.
How is the cage attached to the crane?
Through the 4 crane lifting lugs. A chain or sling set is not listed in the specification, so confirm the lifting set you need when ordering and have it approved in the lift plan.
What inspection does a cage used to lift people need?
Lifting equipment used for people is subject to thorough examination by a competent person at least every 6 months under LOLER 1998 in Great Britain, or LOLER (Northern Ireland) 1999. This is the user's duty, so ask for the supporting documentation you need before the cage goes into service.
How does it differ from a personnel access cage?
The stretcher cage is made for casualty evacuation, with space for a stretcher and an attendant. Personnel access cages are for planned work at height, where people are lifted to a working position and back.
