They've got longer poles but the guys using them are only 5 foot!

I think it is 145 pounds a day 21 metre 3.5 ton  ;D

PG Platforms - delivery 75 pounds each way or you can collect from Strood

Apart from Blade Access who are based in Bradford - PG Platforms offer me excellent service at a good price.

Nice job rhino

Must be hard to price up jobs like that.  I guess it gets easier the more you do

What courses / qualifications do you need to use a cherry picker like that - I think my driving licence covers me to drive it - not sure about the rest

Dave

Saw your franchise listing on eBay the other night - hows that going?

the hse would love to see thoes pictures of your pedestrian protection and how the fella access,s his car under and thro the working area

also how the fat bloke gained access to the balcony (jumped over the caged rail on the picker or shimmied up the drainpipe)

also the unit is sited  onto the carriageway cant see any signage positioned informing the public / oncoming vehicles

-if caught you could be fisted by highways

-also wheres the fellas harness in the cage

-i think youve just earned a red card from thoes photos

play with the big boys play by the rules
  due to some contractors cutting corners and taking risks it prevents thoes that price the work properly winning jobs
the client 9 x out of 10 just looks at the bottom line

i quoted a nursing home earlier this week over 4 floors difficult access internal courtyards balconies hard job i was undercut by half and my price was not high
to many chancers out there ruining it for thoes that play the game and do it legally

youre be the first to moan rogue trader when poznan pete or mr doley undercuts you and nicks all your work you might think you do a better job but the bottom line is his cheaper cos he aint go no overheads like you
