there were some guys using a tracked model like that down the road from the last week....can't tell ya how many hours I've spent in an aerial lift when ya get 100ft up in one and the wind is swaying you back and forth that's when it gets fun...
When your on the ground looking up it doesn't look bad, but when your actually in it its a lot higher than you think. Every move you make wiggles the machine back and forth. When you add using a chain saw in the mix it gets really nerve wrecking. I wouldn't go 100 ft up, at least not on a trailer mounted one! You do get some good views though.I would hope a truck mounted one would be a bit more stabil.
crazyjdkid they all have some sway to them even brand new ones and the higher they go the more they sway, I ran one that was 60ft working height mounted to a Timberjack chassis for off-road work, I almost tipped it over, well I tipped it to 45 degrees before it caught it's self from going all the way over now that was a fun ride...lol..
savagenomore Yea not a job for me, I didn't have a harness. Hope you did in that case. I know the bucket on this thing wouldn't look good after hitting the ground.
crazyjdkid I had a belt on but it got unsnapped because I was about to jump out rather than get slammed around in that fiberglass bucket, when it stopped going over I was only 20 feet off the ground....
My.neighbor bought a brand new one he took it to his job on dauphin Island al it ran for about 5 min his is on tracks its been setting on his job for over a week now no help from nifty he paid 48k for it
Ryan S Oh ya I definitely feel ya, this one goes 40ft high(don't know how many stories) and it scared the crap out of me when I first went. It took a while to trust the machine, but I finally got the hang of it.
Thank you, about minute 16 from the distance was best in showing its capabilities and confirmed what I was wondering on its movements! Thank you.
2024 and I appreciate you sir.
I'm about to buy this machine. Is the swaying bad at the max height?
Hey man I'm about 3 min in and bored. Is it good or not?

Good Video howver you don't need to run the engine unless the batteries are dead. It will run electric only!
is this something you rented?
Yes! I have no full time use for one, so I just rented it!
I worked at a welding shop and they had a scissor lift that would go up 2 stories high and that thing would sway, it took a lot of getting use to lol

nausea should be the title of this. Take Dramamine to watch
+Don Stamper My apologies. I will work to improve that with the next video. Thanks for watching!
