A concave personnel basket for an aerial work platform such as a boom lift is disclosed. The personnel basket is configured with a middle portion, facing away from the boom lift, that is recessed several feet towards the boom lift. The basket also has two opposite ends, also facing away from the boom lift, that protrude several feet outward relative to the middle portion. As a result, the personnel basket can partially envelop convex target structures such as cell towers and building corners. Personnel standing in the basket can thus access multiple sides of the target without needing to command the boom lift to reposition the basket. This improves work efficiency and safety.
