Is there not much call then for Mobile Elevated Working Platforms down under then? (cherry pickers / magic carpets etc etc)

Surly someone must be using them on the bigger sites?

Or maybe once you have passed the minefield that is the Australian electrical licensing process you are granted with magical levitating powers that eliminates the need for access equipment :tounge_smile:

cheers Andy,
Is there much call for it thou?
Is it the IPAF you have or A another?

I will be re-newing mine for sure as it will be free and a day off paid:D

But was just interested to know if there were asked for as what i have been reading about OZ the general saftey issues seem to get overlooked most of the time:ohmy:

Thanks again

it is ipaf i have depends on where you are working i used flying carpet all the time in bridgestones factory but not at all at the retirement appartments i am working on

the company i work for do a lot of work for arnots and bridgestones which is mostly high work so you use it all the time.
