Iwire, I appreciate your concern....but I see no requirement in the OSHA rules that you go out and buy anything.....give this 'homebuilt' a coat of paint, and you'ld be hard pressed to tell it from one in a catalog.
One point that the customer was not aware of was the need to secure the cage to the forklift...once this was demonstrated, he agreed that it was a wonderful thing to do.
