This is the same reason I used one once. It was far from "comfortable" but
also far from unsafe. I would do it again. I am used to seeing fearless
stage techs on these things in theatres where the floor is smooth, flat and
strong. I reasoned to myself that if the ground you were setting the lift
on was comparable, then it would be okay. I was working over a masonry
patio, and put down plywood squares to protect the tile and distribute the
force a bit, and was extremely careful to get the unit level, which
obviously makes the difference between the best lift experience and not the
best.
Two days of antenna work later, I can honestly say this was by far the
easiest way to do this difficult job. Four really big Force-12s on two
towers over a Spanish-style red tile roof with foliage everywhere, in the
backyard and sideyard....
