ST-17 Air Spider Basket

The industry standard for work in refineries, tank farms, shipyards, offshore platforms and heavy construction has been redesigned to meet your needs and simplify your ownership experience – lowering your cost of ownership, improving the reliability of the components, and making it easier to service this product right.

A self-contained, single line unit, the ST-17 accommodates two workers to double productivity. Contractors can add modular platforms or plank sections between two ST-17s to form a double line suspended scaffold. With modular sections, workers can quickly connect sections without special tools to create a larger working span with flydecks attached. The unit comes equipped with numerous safety devices to ensure safe operation.

The ST-17 is the finest quality work basket in the world and is a result of years of improvements, primarily from customer feedback.
