Abstract
A transportable tool and accessory carrier for use on aerial lifts is disclosed. The system comprises a carrier configured to mount on an upper railing member of an aerial lift, and moveable support members to permit the carrier to be secured to a lower railing member as well. In some cases the support members are telescoping in order to more easily move between a stowed and operating configuration, and to easily fit a range of aerial lift railing member configurations.

- a mount to reversibly secure the carrier to a first railing member;
- at least one support arm member;
- a pivot point that pivotally attaches the at least one support arm member to the carrier, wherein the at least one support arm member reversibly secures the carrier to a second railing member;
- a locking pin that is spaced-apart from the pivot point, wherein the locking pin engages the at least one support arm member and the carrier to maintain the at least one arm member in a configuration with respect to the carrier;
- and
- wherein when the system is mounted to the aerial lift platform, the carrier is located substantially outside the movement area.
