Model B-19-2.5-R has left the building

The first aerial rig i built for someone *else* has just left my hands and entered the customers hands. It was taken home this afternoon after an orientation session with the new owners.

It has 19 foot high mount points, and breaks down into pieces 6 feet 8.5 inches long. Total weight about 230lbs. Can be set up to a lower height of 14.5. Goes up and down quickly and easily with 3 people.



It's the 4-legged structure on the right here, being watched over by the larger steel rig in my backyard.

Now to start hunting down prospects for more orders...

What's the buckling load on those long, skinny legs? Or are there braces that I can't see?

That looks like that's pretty darned easy to take apart. I'm guessing it's just as easy to put up, too. That's impressive!

Price as pictured available on request?



The bugs did buy their own globe this summer, with the profits from their Grand Old Day Koolaid stand. But I'm figuring it would take them a few years' worth of Grand Old Days revenue to bring home one of these...
