I’m honestly impressed they got it on that thing without it tipping into the pool.
Kind of impressive actually.
I will admit I kind of like it.
Breaking OSHA rules is kind of like a shitty superpower through the magical symbiosis of sketchy engineering and biomechanics, like you’re not supposed to be able to get a scissor lift into a pool (while it’s full at least).
But the cost is that you’re risking the superpower fucking you up and maybe taking your life, and the power usually only gives you the ability to save your boss money.
They really pooled their resources and floated a good idea.
Their productivity is about to go through the roof

Swimming pool puns? Are we really that shallow? I thought we’d dive into the deep around here.
That might be pretty sound. The center of gravity is still low and depending on the materials used for that pontoon, it might require a significant list before it would capsize. I’d want to know that someone who designed it did the calculations, but it might be pretty secure.
The docks are literally sold for construction purposes, each panel supports 3,000lbs and they’ve got 6, so 18,000lb capacity.

From what i know thats actually exactly how its supposed to be done…
wat
all of my wat
when your country doesn’t have an OSHA
What? It’s strapped down…
I have to know what that sissor lift in on.
Some sort of a heavy duty prefab floating dock, I’m assuming.
It’s floating on 6 panels of EzDock with a combined weight capacity of 18,000 lbs from what it looks like.
“I don’t see what’s so b-” *scrolls down* “holy fuck!”
in all seriousness, how would you even do this without this contraption?
I think the pool should be emptied first.
Can those lifts work if the floor is angled?
Well that would mean the center of gravity isn’t perpendicular to where humans stand so it tips over.
If only there was some self leveling substance that they could float on, that would solve the center of gravity moving out from under them when trying to use a scissor lift on an tilted floor…
They dislike angles. Pretty sure they have angle sensors. Might test it some time.
if it starts to tip over, does he hold on to the beam for dear life or does he fall with the lift?
That’s giving me palpitations.
The more I look at it, the worse it gets.
If that thing goes into the water the battery is going to short out and electrify that pool. They could either get electrocuted or killed by exploding batteries. Either way their death wouldn’t be boring.
Eh, it’s low voltage DC (mega high current tho). It should all short pretty close to itself (electricity takes the shortest, least resistive path). If it toppled sideways they’d be like 10’ away. They’d be fine. Most heavy equipment uses lead acid batteries too, and they don’t explode like lithium ion.
Still not safe fo sho, but I don’t think electrocution is high on the probability list.
