A most expensive platform

Spotted earlier this year at the Lidl store in Dartford, Kent, UK, a couple of men were working on a display sign at a height of around four to five metres.

Their powered access equipment comprises a mid-sized fixed frame telehandler, rented from Charles Wilson Hire, with a Genie scissor lift on the forks. A more expensive platform attachment would be hard to find, whether purchased or rented. As would a more unsafe one.

The scissor lift has been lifted on the chassis fork pockets that are designed purely for loading or moving the lift over a distance on site, and are totally unsafe for such stunts.
Definitely one for our Death Wish Series.

Have a safe weekend.
