One of these ? Not for me, but you can see my platform/deck suspended off the building, I've never seen another used like the one I designed and had an engineer calculate and stamp for record. This was a cantilevered tower crane set on large beams spanning the superstructure which was over 20 stories, this was a major gut rehab with the upper floors being enlarged. I we brought 80 trailer loads of curtain wall crates in and used the platform to land them, 2 ironworkers on retractable lanyards would land the crates. Structural ironworkers were fun to deal with on this job, was their crane for steel erection, GC should have owned it to be a little more friendly to the other trades who needed it, but there is more than one way to skin a cat, want to land your materials on my deck, it will cost you, was a good way to give the carpentry contractor a dose of his own medicine, 4K for a jobsite shanty, it'll cost you the same to land drywall on my deck, ended up a wash !

Operator came in wearing shorts and sneakers, I checked out the view from this one, not for me, but they make good money and have great benefits, something about being stuck in a cab all day, but for that money, well...... LOL. It took a heavily counterweighted 500 ton hydraulic to install this one.
