It's a monster! You don't realise how big the cherry picker is, until you're standing next to it. To give you some idea, the control panel (to the left of the word "Genie") is at head-height. The base unit weighs 10 tonnes. In fact, the sheer size is reassuring. When you are 20m up in the air, it is good to know that you are securely anchored to the ground.

I've realised, after using the cherry picker for a while, that my chainsaws could also do with safety harnesses. The basket isn't surrounded by mesh, just two guard rails. My harness stops me from slipping out. However, there is nothing to stop a chainsaw from doing the same.. Tree-climbing arborists use chainsaw straps. I could do with one, but, it is probably too late to order one online. I'll maybe check some of the stores in town. Otherwise, I'll fabricate something. |
