The biggest MEWP in the world is currently in Scotland just now, they are using it to put the Chinese hat on the rocket up in the space port. It was shipped in from China on hire. I dare to think what the weekly hire cost is for that.

and I bet a man basket hung off a decent sized crane'd be a much more preferable experience ...
a good op and two ways'd be waaaaay smoother than any MEWP

H&S regs killed off the air bridge's development, by Demag sadly ... would've been an excellent alternative to big MEWPs .... supremely solid and stable, in comparison fixed to the cat head of a mobile crane with capacities far in excess of any MEWP or whatever load was in it ... always intended to fab one to fit my cranes, but never got round to it and then they got clobbered


never seen one of these, but looks a cool ride
