That must be a pretty beefy cherry picker. I wouldn't want to
write the safe system of work.

All,

Just to clarify, the beam itself is an "I" beam which is supported
either end by 2 box section columns.

Also interesting to see Ray's post as this is exactly what we are
doing and his steel seems a fair bit smaller. In fact, half the steel
is supporting the upstairs wall and roof (rafters run parallel so less
support I guess) and the other half is supporting the roof above.

This is great dialog

George - Just looking at the cherry pickers, how did you get the steel
on to the platform without destroying the surround/ railings etc.?

thanks
Lee.
