The justification was that zip-up towers on wheels are no longer legal

What's a zip up tower on wheels?


Tower scaffold/PAV/MEWP?

I must be getting old, some years ago there'd be the ocassional person
who knew what I was on about. Alas those days are fast receding into
the distant past.

and you still haven't told us

OK, for you I'll make the supreme effort.
The cherry picker was a fixture on the back of a large lorry, not a
toy diy version.

A zip up scaffold was what they were called in my story.
They had integal clips on the poles that just clicked into place and
preformed floor panels that did the same.

One of those... on wheels.

What got me going was that the soffit panel was entirely 8 feet above
a balcony. So a small set of step ladders would have sufficed.
