Re: Seeking Information on OSHA certified MAN LIFTS, which can be towed behind a trac

I own a JLG T350 trailer mounted electro-hydraulic man-lift. It's perfect for tree trimming and many other high level uses. I have it certified every year or so in case I want to sell it. It has self leveling stabilizer outriggers. Easy to operate controls, and can go up 35' or more.

My primary use is mounting and servicing my antique farm windmills, but once you get up in the air with a chainsaw, you are hooked. I've also made a jib arm that goes onto the main boom. You can remove the basket, install the jib and run it from the ground.

Most equipment rental businesses around here have several to chose from. Even Home Depot. You can rent for 1/2 day, whole day, week or monthly. 15' is nothing. Going up 35' takes a shot of Jack.

There are quite a few videos on Youtube showing JLG, Nifty-Lift, and Bil-jax trailer boom lifts just like mine.
