Finished my man lift platform.

Here's a detail of the safety chain and the "T" handle. The chain slot is in the Forks Frame. Thanks.

That sure is a small anchor for a party boat...:thumbsup:

My stomach aches I'm laughing so hard! Where do you come up with these!

I guess it's just the creative Engineering side of me. I'm the Father of two card carrying Degreed Rocket Scientists. Around our house the saying " it ain't Rocket Science Boy!" has a whole new meaning...:confused2:
I do truly like your build here.

Much simpler model.... However ya still need a helper

Ya just need a longer broom handle, maybe one with a curve. I'll send the wife, she'll instruct you on the procedure:laughing::laughing:


That is nice though, did you build it?

Nice set up !! It look heavy duty in the photo. Doesn't take up much space when it stored away.

Robert_in_NY,
You got me thinking, if you kept the liner in but removed the top, it could double as a mobile swimming pool !!

Or a dunk tank.

Aczlan,
Mobile dunk tank! another great idea. I'd like to start a new build but its going to hard to top this man lift for cost, flexibility, and applications.

mefyj and brewdog need to team up for a big party on the lake. Brewdogs Party Boat and Mefyj's Bungi Jump Tower.

Now a serious question for both of you. How high up can both of your lifts go? I got a couple of Alders in the back yard that I'd like to trim some of the lower branches. I just may have to build me one of these things.:thumbsup:

draganof1,
my lift is 100" to the floorboards. Add your working height to that. I think the bunji jump tower has me beat.

 

[draganof1]

Brewdog I think your setup might be a little more stable since the ground around my trees is a little hilly. 100" is more than high enough. Now I just need to finish my Tractor build.

I've found a new use for my re-purposed Man Lift. The misses wanted a new door trimmed today so I used my portable workstation to haul everything to the house. The saw stayed on the platform and made the whole job really easy. I used my portable air tank to run my finish nailer. One charge of 120 psi air did the trick.

 

[Danny1553]

That is a really nice build. That has to make life so much easier than messing around with ladders or staging. I think I'll have to build one to compliment my new loader now...excellent job. As far as the safety police go, I'd say ladders are a heck of a lot more dangerous than a nice, stable work basket with side rails, safety chain, etc. Almost everything has inherent risk to it. ladders fall all the time, causing serious injury. If you keep your equipment in good shape, inspected for defects before each use, I'd say you're operating in a very safe manner. Nice build.

That thing is so cool, and cool looking.. mind you if it were mine I would paint it orange:laughing: Great build:thumbsup:

Danny1553, Thanks for the vote of confidence! it was fun to build and if you build one, please post the photos.

k0ua, I'd love to see one in orange! Thanks for the compliments.

Way cool Brewdog! Did you run out of blue paint for the conduit rails?

Everything good except I did not see the safety labels. Did the new paint job cover them? One example would be: Not for use in California....

Heck, it seems that everything is Verboten in California unfortunately.

Much simpler model.... However ya still need a helper

That's nice! I wonder if you could make a post hole digger accessory for that 3PH forklift.

 

[brewdog]

mjncad,
Thanks! No, I didn't run out. I thought the Galvanized finish looked okay on the conduit with the blue. Not being much of a painter, this is as OCC as it gets.

Did you notice my color coordinated air hose?

 

[mjncad]

mjncad,

Did you notice my color coordinated air hose?

Only after you mentioned it. :laughing:

Brewdog - you would earn bonus points if the conduit railings happed to line up with your mitresaw (elevation) to support whatever you are cutting :thumbsup: Nice attachment.
