it reminds me of my scaffold tower highseat .
ive got a few of those bolts that are used to bolt steps onto telegraph poles if you need any mate.
you could really do with finding someone that has a bit of cammo netting for sale though mate 
Ha ha, last thing I want is more camo net, surprising just how much net a high top lwb Tranny holds

Rod did you ever listen to the Sarg that was giving the shift briefing on Hill Street Blues ??? he always ended his little chats with his advice of "and remember be careful out there".

Phil, from going through that frame by frame it appears either the strap broke, or wasn't long enough as there's barely any excess strap. If you look at the other one he's standing on that only has 25mm webbing, and that looks like a poundland strap. You need a good three full actions of the ratchet handle to make sure they're not going to slip.
Ours are 5ton rating (2.5t swl, 5uts) and made by us, we know they're good

Yes Rod pictures are good, a solid weatherproof job as well
, I have been collecting ally scaffolding poles for a while now, going to try and get enough freebees together for two towers on two different permissions, somewhere to go when her-in-doors is having one of her melt downs
