I rented a lift when I painted the exterior of my house. In my neck of the
woods, near Albany NY, you need a certificate of insurance for $1M to rent one
of the self propelled jobs. However, the Genie 45 foot that is towed can be
rented without an insurance certificate, and I've seen them for rent at Home
Depot.
It's pretty idiot proof. It has sensors that prevent it from operating if it
is not leveled properly. It strikes me that it would be ideal for a crank up
where tilting the tower over might not be all that useful for installing and
tuning a long boom antenna. The cost as I recollect was under $700 for the
week I had it.

Back in May, I rented a 45 ft jib articulated boom lift here in NYC - it's
about $250/day PLUS delivery - which was $600, but boy it made the job easy -
with the articulation and the jib, we were able to go up, turn, and extend out
over my roof to get to the tower - ask John, W2GD what he thought, he spent
way way longer up there than I did
