Van mount with a twist

Spotted in the town of Menen in Flanders, Belgium a tradesman working with two ladders, a van and a scaffold board.

It looks as though our man is doing a little re-pointing work on the façade of the building and has jammed the two ladders into the roof rack frame on his van, after having used a third ladder to climb up onto its roof. He has then added two platform support brackets – one to each ladder - and spanned them with a scaffold board.

Spotted in a street in Menen, Flanders an unusual van mounted access platform

Hardly the most efficient van mounted access platform we have seen, but at least he was not standing on the scaffold board, most likely his most dangerous act was assembling the whole thing? A definite one for our Death Wish series.
