They must have apprenticed with these guys:

Nothing wrong with those pictures. I've used the same process to extend our reach many times.

I am just surprised that the 'forklift of the first party' was robust enough to boost the 'forklift of the second party'.

Guess I've been around those smoke shovellers too long . . .

Best Wishes Everyone

did they get the scissor in that position?

Using the controls on the units deck. :wink:

I don't think scissors lifts have sensors that detect whether the unit is on a solid surface, or has been picked up by a forklift. It may have tip sensors, as well as obstuction sensors, but those won't engage in a situation like this.

Even if there was some sort of sensor that would detect this type of use, anyone with enough stupidity to try this will be more than happy to by-pass it.

yes, but...

yes, but...

i recently had to take a full-day operator course for the various kinds of man lifts and some of these photos were in the slide show. around here you have to have this operator's ticket if you're on a lift when the safety inspector comes around, and you have to re-certify every two years. there's even more mandatory training for people in the movie industry that attach lights and other things to the lifts, and that frequently have to "crib" the lifts with wooden supports on uneven ground.

humorously enough, on the morning we were taking the course there was a low-bed trailer sitting in the equipment supplier's yard with a scissor lift that had half fallen off the side.

you're right, it does look like the fork lift is using the lifting channels under the scissor.
