I wouldnt actually refer to that as a fail. He drove down a steep, slippery incline and the brakes managed to hold the machine back. Sketchy, but good recovery
I work at a religious place and they got a scissor Jack like that but it's got a remote control. He should have walked that down with a remote control. He's lucky he didn't lose control and that tipped over on it. He could have got very hurt. I don't think that's a good idea to drive that down an incline like that. He should have walked on the side of a with a remote control of it has it. Thank you. More safer people should think are safety when they operate a machine.
Totally agree, however some saftey regulations refer to a scissor lift as technically being a " rolling scaffold " and a fall harness is not required. Lot of petroleum based refineries and and such down here on the Gulf Coast. Not everyone adheres to the same saftey regulations
To all non-believers.......dont trust your scissors lift on inclines. I tried to take a scissors lift down a loading ramp to be picked up by the rental company years ago and found out that its brakes werent working correctly about halfway down. I almost flipped it over. I have worked with aerial lifts all my life and inclines and lifts dont play well with eachother. Getting thrown forward/backward/ejected is also possible. be careful
