Spot the climber

Spotted at a manufacturing plant in Poland, an odd combination of scissor lift and climber

Two men are clearly working intently on something in the ceiling around eight metres up. It is likely that the two went up in a 26ft slab scissor lift to do the job, but realising that they had to work on the issue from the other side one man has climbed out of the platform and climbed around the stanchion, hanging on while he works on whatever it is they need to do.

A climbing - scissor lift combo

What they don’t seem to realise is that the machine they are using has a roll out deck extension which might possibly have reached had they simply repositioned the machine a little.

A closer look

One has to hope that he survived to try again. A most definite candidate for our Death Wish series.
