Just got back for a an Cherry picker course and i am still shaking.
It was horrendous and I have to go back tomorrow and re do the static and the scissor lift.
I am bricking it, i think i might run away from home ;D
My lads passed 3 categorys and I passed one, I bottled it on the Static.
-
Cant you just use a cherrypicker without an ipaf ??? ??? ???
Dean
Only joking Dave,
Ive got mine on a 3a and 3b and totally bricked it myself,
Is was windy though,
Just below the limits for the machine :o :o :o :o

Is the ugly fella on the left (as you look at the pic) the talented singer?
Well done, Dave, you must be doing well forking out for all that training for the lads!
-

Don't think the customer saw me. ;D

-
I've just noticed that chappy in the middle...with the rolled up sleeves....ROFL
-
Ive been cherry picking too - pressure washing and window cleaning - 60ft high and some of it is over a marina!!
I love it though, makes the job more interesting.

thats my son
What about him ?
-
mmmm...those sleeves....rofl
-
what about them ?
-
Please...look at them... ;D ;D
-
and ?
What you trying to say ?
-
Those sleeves look gay!
-
Whats your prThose sleeves look gay!
What if he is gay ?
I really cant see what your problem is.
Do I come here and insult your son, In fact have I ever insulted anyone ?
-
calm down ladies ;D
-
Get over yourself..I have no problem...I mentioned those sleeves and then you push fr answers...you got an answer..
I have no problem with anyone whether black, white, gay straight...just get over yourself.
Dave.
-
Ron Its not your son he is insulting is it ?
Pingu, I still dont understand what you are getting at
-

I don't think he knew the lad was your son when he first commented and I don't think he meant to insult him either. He was commenting on the fact the lad seems to like the way he looks and appears keen to show off his popeye arms by rolling up his shirt sleves.
-
Dave for someone that has shown they are very bright...you are being a little slow on the uptake are you not?
Dave.
-
dave high horse and get off come to mind, look worst things have been said to others un noticed !
i was just saying calm down it is obviuosly not directed because he thought he was your son but just a comment ment as a joke.
i know its your son but he not saying anything to take such offence over.
-
i think tongue in cheek he was saying what a poser
crossed my mind as well ;D ;D
-
Ron
No high horse, just cant see what the problem is
Wasnt we all 19 once.
He was like that all day, with no one around to impress apart from his dad, his best mate and the instructor.
I think people are to quick to insult others, Like I said earlier, who have I ever insulted on here ?
I try to show something we have achieved as a company today and all some people can do is take the pee.
-
And you are surprised someone is taking the p on this forum? Come on Dave! If it hadn't been your son you wouldn't have batted an eyelid.
-
I suppose I should have known it was your son as and kept my mouth shut as you are all obviously named Dave Morris....as per the shirts.
Jeees you have a bad day poop yourself on a cherry picker and then lose the plot here...
Please.......moderate this ::)
Dave
-
dave some times you have to see the funny side of things its good to be able to laugh at your self i have to do it all the time ;D other wise you will take life to serious.
Well done dave is this the same as the ipaf or is this more in deph??
-
Ron
It is the IPAF
The lads did 1b , 3a and 3b
I only managed 3b today, I bottled 1b , I am having another go tommorrow
-
think i did 3a and b but havent used it much so god help me when i use one next in october
-
1b = vehicle or trailer static
3b = is self propelled
3a = scissor lift
-
Why did you bottle them? Having never used one myself, is it the height or do they wobble or is it some innate mistrust of the equipment?

corr! talk about taking the bait i think pingu should get his landing
net out.
you are highly thought of mr morris on here by most
but you really need to develop a sense of humor
if it had been my lad id have been taking the pee myself ;D ;D
-

The static was a bit wobbly, it was late in the day and I thought it was just a bit to high for something so flimsy, I only bottled the last 3 metres , I thought the instructer was taking the mickey especially as he was kicking the out riggers, which vibrated right up to the basket
-
I don't know about the static, I think it's the quiff.
-
how often do you have to renew and how much per person, so dave are those my brothers in the pic as your wife thinks we look a like lol, ;D
-
Its every 5 years and just over £200 for 3a and 3b,
The price is most probably different at different places,
Dean

Yer thought about him,need to speak to him regarding a quote anyway.
-
I need some valium for tomorrow.
I might just not turn up lol
-
I love heights, absailing, bungee jumps, sky diving ect ..... them pickers look like right good fun. Do you get to absail off them incase they get stuck ? if so i might go do a course myself for the fun of it :P
-
Dave well done to you and your guys for doing it
Alan

I'm Abseiling of our Hospital roof for charity on Sunday, I do the same thing every year.
Well Done Dave and your crew and don't bottle out tomorrow Just keep your eye's straight ahead don't look down.
Go to the chemist or Supermarket on your way and pick up a box of calms and take a couple of them and you'll be fine.
Good luck for tomorrow ;)

They look good for bungee jumping practice ;D .
I've never been up that far so not sure how I would be with it. Think I would be OK if the wind was low, the equipment wasn't too wobbly, and it has fairly high sides.
-
Dave
I;m flat out at the moment do you want to sub this one
-
or this one
-
:)
-
Impressive jobs them, in a work-sense, but...............
SOD DOING THAT!!
Charlie can I ask what kind of money would those tower jobs fetch ?
-
in my opinion the I.P.A.F courses just arent thorough enough i had used cherrypickers for years without a licence having been taught by my dad, when it was necassary to get a licence i couldnt believe how much important info was left out, i think if somone was to hire a large machine with such minimum experience as got on the course then they would be an accident waiting to happen, so much for health and safety the courses need upgrading and more time given on gradients and surfaces being worked on at least this would be a start to reducing the risks.
