High Reaching Solutions got a call to supply a cherrypicker to assist with the restoration of an old conservatory at the YHA at Whitby Abbey. It must be able to go through a doorway was a specification.
On surveying the site, the door that had been mentioned was approximately 5ft high, 2ft wide and opened into a 2ft wide alleyway with a tight 90-degree turn just through the opening. People were obviously smaller when they built Whitby Abbey! There must be another way to get to the work area?
On taking a walk around the building grounds the route that the cherry picker would have to go included narrow paved areas, sharp turns, lose gravel areas, pedestrian areas, a picnic area, slopes, archways with steps onto slopes and more gravel paths with gates.
