Cherry pickers.

Forgot to add, I am great and it's not often that I am wrong, but I am right again.

Grately wrong

The small ones do a bit of shaking about when fully extended.

They do yes but if the floor is nice and flat they are very safe.

So do you think that the floor in a cherry picker is not nice and flat?

If you go over a small imperfection in the floor you feel it in a cherry picker basket, hence why you need a harness

yes but that is the same if you go over the same in a scissor lift too

An you usually jump all over the place in a cheery picker when entering a building or going over a speed bump.

But it wouldn't jump you into the air

You are sort of right but not right, that isnt the reason for the restraint,

Just say you're wrong and apologise.

I am great

OK then put it this way, I use a cherry picker mounted on a van so I am not actually driving it when extended and in the bucket, there is a reason for us being restrained and it isnt the reasons you are stating

Good point.

You was due one

It is quite possible to have a slide rail in a scissor lift to allow a 1m harness to slide from one end to the other without restricting you unecessarily, but they are not needed because you don't have the catapult action you get with a cherry picker.

Scissor lifts are stable at low level where a cherry picker will hurl you like a conker.

Now apologise and say I am right, I am great

No mate.

They have seen your medical records and know you need restraining

Never used a van mounted one so don't know the rules but on one you can drive I am correct

Nope pointless having a rail at one side of it, makes the full platform useless. We use both types and no need for a restraint only a harness in a scissor lift

Exactly

yes I have said you are right but not right for the reasons you are stating, not all cherry pickers are mobile. Ours are classed as static as we cannot drive them whilst being used, we have outriggers on the van and can only operate the cherry picker once the outriggers are deployed.

 

[bright_Spark]

Exactly

Not exactly at all, he is as usual wrong.
