Salad Fingers As Pwood had said, why is this a death wish, yet okay for the film industry to do far worse with almost every machine they hire, and also the telecoms industry regularly use Spiderlift’s and small truck mounts to lift antennas, cabling, dishes etc, usually with two people in the basket too, sometimes even taking the machine to working height and then pulling the equipment up with a rope to avoid being stopped by weight limit sensors…
Jeff at BattleFish You would get questions like this all the time. Simple answers are, what is intended design, did you read the ops manual and finally if that does not satisfy your questions then call the OEM. Hand Truck Crane
Pwood So here we go again, headline news that someone is using a mewp to lift something and it's considered a death wish, which is correct as we all know mewps are not cranes and shouldnt be used to suspend anything and or used for any practices for which the machine is not designed. Why then does Vertikal and numerous other establishments within the access industry (including IPAF) fail to report on and condone the use of mewps to suspend lighting rigs etc for film work, how many manufacturers if asked would say that constructing a scaffold frame around the basket and hanging a large light etc off it is ok. Many access companies doing this up and down the country, everyone knows it not right and yet everyone ignores it but very quick to comment if someone doesn't use spreader matts or doesn't have sufficient cones out !!
