Combination access

Two men working on a chimney need at least eight metres up and over reach, which their 12 metre trailer lift simply can’t provide. The solution? Go up in the platform with a ladder and a step ladder.

Two men, a trailer lift, a staging board/ladder and a step ladder - all because they had the wrong size of lift for the job

Balance one end of the ladder (or is it a staging board?) on the platform guardrails and the other on the roof - then balance the step ladder on the ladder/staging board.

Now they can reach the work to be done and appear to have a storage shelf to boot! Yes it works as long as nothing moves and no one slips, although getting all that kit up there with a machine that has just 200kg of platform capacity is a bit of a mystery.
