What!!!    The nearest we ever got , other than hiring ,    was  when re- housing a print company  to newer premises ,   the guy doing the roof mounted gas heaters  , those big square  industrial things  ,  gave me the key to his lift  to use while he took his two week holiday .  

I'd only quoted for a push about tower  .....  I 'd say having that for two weeks halved  our quoted time .

constantly hiring them or working from ladders / scaffold... so i bought a small compact 5m lift. then a larger 8m lift. both get used on a regular basis

If you own your own lifter do you need IPAF?

If you own your own lifter do you need IPAF? 

same with almost everything else - you only need to be competent. IPAF is one way of showing that.

There will only be one person that may attempt going down that route, but I doubt he would even dare to think about it

Doesn't PUWER state that whoever is using such kit must have received adequate training, ditto WAH regs? It's all a bit grey and open to interpretation like everything else of course.

What constitutes adequate training? Let's face it I think it's accepted companies that hire these things can do ad hoc training when they deliver it. 

I once watched a hire company "train" 10+ users on site how to erect an ali tower. I think they charged £130 extra for the training. So <£13 each and no written test and no cert at the end of it. The hire company went and the lads erecting it soon got into trouble. I got asked as I held(hold) my PASMA ticket. I found out there weren't enough components to get to the height they needed plus bits there were damaged. "The hire bloke said get it so high then take bits from the bottom and put them up top!"

Many years ago I wanted to take down a disused chimney stack from the gable end wall of my house.

I hired one of those; the biggest they had. The hire company just offloaded it on the road, got me to sign a receipt for it, and left. I don't think that would happen these days.
