The boom reaches up and over the storefronts to the upper floors, without moving the truck.
The street permit reserves the lane. Three flaggers keep cars and people clear of the work zone.
Two inspectors work from the 12 ft basket, clipped in, under the basket's own lights.

A global architecture and engineering firm had to inspect Macy's Herald Square: a full NYC block, about 1,900 ft of frontage and a facade full of cornices, setbacks and ornaments.
Street permits here allow night work only. Bollards block the front entrance, so most trailers and lifts can't get in. The basket had to reach up and over cornices as high as 300 ft.
Our A-300 with a full-time IPAF-certified operator: 300 ft of height, 106 ft of side reach and a 31.5 ft jib. We pulled the permits and put three flaggers on the busy sides overnight.
The basket moved along the facade while the truck stayed put. Where extreme reach wasn't needed, we sent the smaller A-230 to keep costs down. Two inspectors finished in 5 nights.
