pussy osha shit is all i see
real men just use a rotten pallet
>>
>>2955913
Actually it was on sitting atop the forks and held on by the chain. The clamps were to keep it from sliding backwards and slacking the chain. Needed it flush with the fork tips so we didn't accidentally stab through anything since we had been day drinking again

What kind of telehandler?

Skytrak 5030

Nice. Actually have a cobbled together man basket on my Lull telehandler right now. Was using it to pull down fucked up gutters off one of our haysheds.

Really need to make a new steel walk through with a door bucket for my digger derrick/bucket truck. That climbing up and over the fiberglass bucket sucks.

keep up the good work, anonymous

I have a gutted IBC tote for this.
Howver, in 1 year of ownership I popped 2 hoses and i dont like my chances with that.
It's also a hay loader on a tractor and not a proper forklift or a tele.
>>
>>2956068
Your chances are getting better with every hose you replace. My old man sent me up on a pallet sitting on top of some hay spears on a Farmhand F11 loader mounted on a Farmall M tricycle front tractor for years and years... Got a lot of stupid shit done and never had any incidents thankfully.

Had my wife in the bucket of a 920 cat loader with a stihl pole saw trimming tree branches last year.

nigger ive been transported up to roofs standing on the forks lol
>>
>>2956098
if it was just a roof i would've ridden the forks, no big deal. we went a little extra because it was a 30' overhead grain bin we needed to repair the air exchange stacks on. I can take a ~10ft fall from a roof, 30ft is a different story

I had to climb down the fucking telescoping lift beams to go home.

Your chain rack looks a little overloaded there my guy...
>>
>>2955900
once i rode the bucket of an excavator to the top of a telephone pole to untangle a live wire

it sure was horrifying, never again
>>
>>2955900
Kek.
I've done some shit like that.
My favorite was when I worked for a water-well outfit.
I'd get into a climbing harness and have them haul my up with the puller-crane, carrying a chainsaw to deal with trees in the way.
It was kinda fun being like 40 feet up swinging a chainsaw around.
>>
>>2956422
thats a serious rack
mine above cane as a bunch of twisted trash roughly shaped like a pipe rack on a 720 datsun pickup i bought off the scrappies junk trailer for a hundo. the datsun was a good beater but is long gone now and its memory lives on every time i grab a chain
>>
>>2956600
Nice. Can't beat something that was virtually free and ready made.

You the guy with the giant bench grinder?

That's how I learned drug addicts are invincible until they overdose, which he did a few months after that. I don't work there anymore.

>I popped 2 hoses
I was using my Kubota ~15 miles from home clearing land. A hose broke and I almost didn't get back on the trailer before fluid was gone.
When I got back home I took all hoses off and went to NAPA and had all new hoses made.
Three years and no problems since.
