Everyone speechless?
that looks a heck of a lot safer than some other AC repair work we have seen here (assuming he has a belt on and clipped in, of course).
also, it looks like he can just jump into the apartment window in front of him.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOLY REFRIED CANNOLIS! No railing, no safety harness, no net at the edge of the platform? I hope this isn’t Japan, for a common slight seismic event could make it a hose job cleaning up his remains.
Nope, no harness. Either this isn’t the USA or OSHA needs to fine the S**T out of that contractor.
Also, this is why we have OSHA in the USA. That and the burning of dozens of female workers.
This is actually how people in South Korean high rise buildings typically move. http://backpackbees.com/?p=154
HOLY Mother Of…
It looks like the platform was raised on it’s own and the guy accessed it through the lower balcony. Odd they are not using using a ground or roof building unit though.
How is this a kludge? This looks like a purpose-built lift.
Thank you. This should go on HOLYS**TISTHATHIGH.com
Yeah, this belongs on a different site. Maybe reallytallplatforms.com?
How about incediblyunsafe.com

That isn’t repair work at all; that is a goods delivery truck. It’s used very often in Europe and other countries with dense apartment buildings for delivering couches, tvs, desks and so on. They don’t often have elevators (and those that do are often VERY small; only for 1 to two people, like a phone booth in size) and the stairs are often small and winding. The stuff on the platform is going through that window for a delivery.
I meant to write “…in Europe and countries…”; clearly Europe is not a country, so “and other countries” isn’t correct. Whoops
SloppyRock is sloppy
I’ve seen delivery and moving lifts in France…
They look less flimsy and go up to about six stories. But I’ve never seen anything nearly as high as in this photo.
wth.. what Europe have you been to?? I have never seen anything that even remotely high.
^ this
But I’d still be scared that the gust of wind is stronger than the balcony rail (I’m assuming it’s attached)
If it’s attached, then the support is given by the ladder system. The attaching to the rail would just prevent wobble, not be structural support
Clean your eyes or change your monitor. The delivery truck is at front, and the ladder truck is behind…
Holy Zombie Jesus!
It is a moving company nothing to do with a/c.
You can see it any day in any european city.
No the guy doesn’t travel up on it.
Yes it is clamped to the building.
No you wouldn’t get me out there for a fortune.
That is just too much downness for me.
I live in Europe, (Denmark to be exact,) and I have never seen those before.
but our vehicular laws are so strict, you can barely but a new bolt in before you get r**ed in the butt by vehicular taxes.
But oh lord, I would have loved one of those when I lived in Århus.
I just realized that the platform has no guard rail. Yeek!
Oh My Goodness!!
Standard moving in South Korea. I’ve seen them travel with the goods on there.
Ever wondered what crane operators do when they need to go to the bathroom? Hehe.
What is being done is irrelevant. That guy has earned my respect. Wow.
Dispite the lack of saftey equipment, such as a safety harness, what gets ne is the AC condenser coils. They are HANGING FROM THE RAILINGS!!!!Somehow, I don’t think the railing are rated to hold that much weight over a long period of time. Units like that have brackets that mount into the external walls to hold them. I expect those units will be on the ground fairly soon, causing lots of propety damage and possibly death from the units ripping loose from the rails and tearing the copper line sets from the inside evaporator coils right out of the walls.
No, the AC coils are not hanging from the building. Look closely. There is a platform under the AC unit which is braced to the upper rail of the balcony.
…meanwhile in Romania?
This ladder is too damn high!
Wow. It’s very high
And to think how uncomfortable I am at times working at the top of my 28 foot ladder! This guy must have huge ones to be able to work on that platform.
Or maybe it’s the only job he’s qualified to do that will allow him to afford to feed his family. Responsible but uneducated men do stupidly dangerous things all over the world until the country they are in force safety regulations on the companies.
He’s on the 14th floor, what’s wrong with an elevator?
[Collapses from frright]
With that height, some good safety equipment would be a parachute.
I guess Korean delivery trucks are equipped with 175 foot ladders.
And they might do some window washing on the side.
I see the problem here. If nature had place his huge ringing brass b@lls between his legs he would have been unable to walk. So instead they were placed inside his head cavity. You know were his BRAIN should be…
I’ve seen worse, the worst I’ve seen is this:
A 2 man team climbing a 1768 gided tower with no saftey equipment other than a short hook and rope for a rest every now and then.
yes but it is legal, b/c if properly trained and insured it is safer than repeatetly hooking in and out every 3 feet
OSHA would have kittens if this were in the USA.
They are not even balconies at all. The doors appear to be strictly access points to the apartments. Notice that there is no depth to the ‘balconies’, its just the width of the railing.
what the…?
o_o
Honey, I’m home!
I’m gonna need that lift to pick my jaw back up off the floor! Holy Schneikies!
