Interesting idea not quite researched. Too bad you couldn’t use it at work, OSHA doesn’t allow you to stay on a moving scaffold…… Interesting idea not quite researched.

Whenever we do lighting it's either a two person job, or up and down all day. This would be a GREAT addition to our shop. Oh man, I’ve got to get one of these for the museum here.

You could hook up a stationary bicycle to use leg power if you want an additional workout. A low tech solution for this would be to tie a rope to where you would need to go ahead of time.

Yeah, but for every hour you save, you probably lose two to things like "scaffold jousting". :) “The Crawler can potentially save hundreds of hours every year by allowing you to move the scaffolding without getting down.”

So remember, if you use one of these on a jobsite, another member of the crew -must- be issued a decent camcorder.

But there will need to be a handicapping system, so that pussies standing only four feet off the ground don't get an unfair advantage over the braver racers who build a vehicle five floors high. (I'm also envisaging a Honda generator up there with you, to run your 3kW spade-handled corded drive drill. On short courses, an air drill running from one of Brad's SCUBA tanks would probably be the winning choice.) Scaffolding racing clearly needs to be on TV.

I have worked trade shows before but in the scuba diving industry - but a trade show is a trade show, what you sell makes little difference. nothin' like hittin' the hotel room afterwards and havin' a brew. poor salesman looks like he’s had a long day.
