Abstract
A work platform for use with a lift truck. The work platform has a pair of wing platforms that are pivotally hinged to a center platform. The work platform has a wing-extended position in which the wing platforms are extended from the center platform so as to provide an extended-length work platform, and further has a transport position in which the wing platforms are pivoted about their respective vertical hinges so as to provide a reduced-width work platform for transport along a highway while loaded on the bed of a transport truck. A removable guard fence is provided for safety around the perimeter of the work platform. Hold-down latches secure the guard fence to the work platform, and latches secure the wing platforms in the transport position and in the wing-extended position.
