Man Lifts

I bought this thing ten years ago for a song...am I Red Neckerson or what?






It is what happens, as I have said before, when cousins marry

I am getting an electric 40' articulated boom lift on Monday. What price is a song?

I wish I had one.. for putting Christmas lights on my house.

Right now, I have to bribe the Roof Monkeys (my nephews) to put them up.

I actually started shopping them a few months ago but have been unable to find the one I'm looking for. I'll know it when I see it.

When we moved into our place in Tahoe, a few years ago, we took the railings of the decks on the 2nd and 3rd floors. Used one of these instead of humping boxes up the steps all day. Came in big-time handy moving the heavy oak bedroom set up to the master bedroom on the thrid floor too.

That's badass! I'm thinking about renting one to help my pop take down a few trees. How high does it go? Is the base powered? This looks just like what the rental place has.

Wussy boys!

We just got one of these here at work... seventy foot reach!

A real white knuckler at full extension... or as they say "couldn't drive a needle up you ********* with a sledgehammer"



and shouldn't it be person lift?

Sounds like YOU are the wussy boy if you are afraid of being up in the air 70 feet. And again if you buy into that femnazi PC stuff about it being a "Person Lift". I believe in equal rights, but why do we have to rename everything in the process???

I could use one of those things, I need to paint my house. I would own the second story, on the high side.

We often use a JLG that goes 150 feet.

40 ft boom, gas powered...you can drive it from the bucket or the base. Drives like a hog on ice.

I bought it to trim the trees on my farm...wink, wink

Impressive piece. I was at the rental place today picking up a log splitter, too many toys there. If I had the space I would have this kind of stuff all over the place.

Paul,
Showed it to Max and now he wants me to get one! Great toy. It would be a ton-o-fun.
