Maintenance contract proposal

and then pay for it to be delivered to and collected from site as well as the hire costs.
and then lose sh*t loads of profit while it runs out of charge mid-job.
;-)

cherry picker for the win - no re-charge down time and you can drive it yourself to site.

either way were assuming you have IPAF as the clients H&S policy is unlikely to give you approval to use self powered access equipment without it , not to mention youre own public liability insurance.

If it's a compact scissor the delivery charge should be low as they tow them on the back of the van.

Are you referring to the self propelled van type picker?

Your all missing the point, it is for maintenance if a light goes out, it will be a rare event, I carry a scaffold for this type of work, the lamps are not as high as you may think, hiring a cherry picker is a good way if a lot of lamps or fittings need replacing, for the odd one now and again a tower will do the Job, up and built and down again in minutes and you can add the cost of hiring a tower onto the job and it is all profit if you actually own one.

I agree, scaffold with a 4m working height about 100 quid a week rental and a cherry picker about 300 quid a week which is the minimum. Price for a cherry picker but use a scaffold!

The world's gone mad / cherry pickers and scissor lifts! I remember being approx. 60 foot in air on top of a crane with my step ladders balanced carefully on the crab unit at full stretch changing 400w high bays. that's when men were men

The average Flood or street light will only be 5 mtrs, so 16-17 ft LOL

scaffolding ??
on a site that has 20 5mtr posts ?

yeah , you fools can just crack on with that in the wind & rain.

the smart installer budgets for the proper kit in his price rather than clown around in the carpark trying to save £50 a day.
pfft.
;-)

Now Now Biff, if you read my reply it was if the odd one needed work, for several I agreed a Cherry picker was the best bet.
