Watch the job.

How the job went.

  1. The job

    A masonry restoration firm had to repair brickwork on a wall of the Land Title Building in Philadelphia. The wall does not face the street.

  2. The problem

    Working from the roof would have meant an extra-long swing stage plus roof access. The building sits on a narrow one-way street, so their usual JLG lifts wouldn't work.

  3. What we sent

    Our A-150 with a full-time IPAF-certified operator. On site by 7 am and set up in 15 minutes, then up and over the roof and along the wall.

  4. How it went

    Two masons went up in the 12 ft basket with bricks, mortar and tools in one load. The whole job was done from one setup on the street in one day.
