The Daily Wail says "up to 120 feet" (37 m). That's not much for a
decent cherry picker, plenty available from the hire shops with
working heights above 37 m. They do tend to be diesel powered though
so I guess the 'elfs don't want an engine running in a "confined
space". But that's not insurmountable plenty of garages have exhaust
gas dilution systems. Maybe the floor isn't strong enough for the
point loads, but again that's not insurmountable with load spreading
boards/blocks/WHY. 'Elfs again insisting on a 50 m "exclusion zone"
around it in case it falls over? But surely the rope access people
aren't going to work over the general public are they? Yes you can
net off underneath to catch anything they drop but that needs to be
able to catch a 10 mm washer to an entire light fitting. With that
many fittings I wouldn't like to say that they are all properly
fixed...


Sounds like they want a couple of resident electric cherry pickers...
