DO we have a regulation or standard govering the minimum distance between the geared wheel and the skip surface to prevent any trapping hazards ?
thank you

Guys, need some advice.
I am sure you have heard about man basket. Those cages that use chains to lift and transport personnel. They are used on construction site and also in large trenches. I attached a photo. the cage is made of steel metal.
