I'd imagine it would depend on the stability of the ground in both cases.
Having once been up in a cherry picker I actually felt seasick when I moved
around. Not exactly rock solid. I guess whatever you used could be secured
to the building in some way. A cherry picker should be faster than a tower.
Don't see the safety angle as long as when you climb up you make sure you
are secured to the tower and that its stable.

This is for the repair of a small area of soffit on a 3 storey
building.
The justification was that zip-up towers on wheels are no longer legal
in such a situation. Can this be true?
