Towable rough terrain scissor lift

Doing more and more building jobs at height that require either scaffold or lift. Getting lifts delivered to out the way remote jobs is a bit of an arse and time killer.

Scaffolders more unreliable than weather! Tower scaffolds are pain in arse frankly

Now I know there’s a wide range of boom lifts but I’m talking scissor lifts as need weigh capacity for two big guys 100kg plus plus say a 5ft stone lintel

Towable would be ideal and needs to be rough terrain as no polished concrete here

Best I’ve seen so far is haulette compact 10dx but it’s 3550kg so unless I get a wagon it’s a no go.

Anyone seen anything similar
Scissor lift
Rough terrain
Under 3000kg

I don’t think you will find anything that would lift that much weight very high & still be towable unless it has legs or outriggers.

Haven’t dealt with them for years but we had a 4x4 rough terrain from AJ Access in Caldicot.
Can’t remember how much it weighted but it was almost certainly a heavy lump for a trailer!!

Wouldn’t a basket on telehandler do a lot of them kind of jobs? Also have you tried ashbrook for hire? They have a yard full of everything and deliver same day sometimes!

Might do some but again it’s 8-15 mile from yard all over peaks/hope valley means getting dropped off or picked up if road it.

We’ve got a few bat roost protection jobs to do where we need to string tarpaulins in open barn roof spaces so bats aren’t disturbed unless it was mini telehandler not get in then someone to drive it etc

This one seems to be suitable

we have used these towed cherry pickers before for chimney work. They are not a telehandler for lifiting mind.

cheap though and you can drag them anywhere with a mini.

not scissors they're booms aren't they?

No they where scissors. Not as big a basket as the one you posted but bigger than a boom. The ones with expanding tracks was a self leveling as well the ones with stabilizers had to come down to move

was one of those, maybe a little larger, on Ebay for aaaaaaaaaaaages a few years ago ... don't think it ever sold ... hell of a tool but has to be transported and not a great capacity really, considering
Was a lad on linkedin with a really nice one a bit back. Rory might remember who...Donny area iirc
