I have also seen a much cheaper adjustable platform on ebay but cant find it
 
£199 bleeding expensive for a hop up and when he stands on it it buckled a bit in the middle that wont last very long.
 
Not going to last long, I bought a dura stilts quick bench about 12 yeas ago and still use it, everyone tries to have it off me on site, expensive but brilliant.
 
fook that get a youngmans odd job you can get a hand full for the price of one of these........

had mine for about 6-7 years now and i would gladly buy another
 
I've got a set of fold up ladders. Set them up like a hop up shape then bungee a plank across the top. Big hop up for high ceilings! Wouldn't get away with it on site mind.

Yeh think we've all got that type, i the point Mr Jones is trying to make is that it's a versatile work platform for reaching ceilings of varying heights, your not gonna board and skim a 9' high ceiling off the little youngmans hop up

Does it chuck a bowler hat at customers who dont pay you......:RpS_laugh:
 
nah i would chuck me platform at the f**k*r who dont pay me next time and warrior i can skim a 9 foot ceiling off my little hop up...............if theres scaffold beneath it:RpS_lol:

if there is a ceiling that is high i dust out big phil.........i need my little one to use as a step up onto big phil needed it for an ceiling in a 1930s house i swear the ceiling was about 20 foot off the floor or it seemed like it moving 2 benchs!!!!
 
i was just wondering if anyone had one. It seems to fold up neatly but is it too heavy and bulky. I have seen one on ebay like that youngman one but adjustable height.
 
f its a youngmans get it!!!!!!!!!!! my mate has been buying 'cheap' versions of mine since they first made you have a bench instead of a crate and he must have spent about £200 i paid £70 for mine i think and its been worth every penny.......... the only thing that goes wrong is the catches brake............ nothing that a piece of wood wont solve tho
 
Got one of the massive refina hop ups in a job lot of gear off Ebay today. Brand spanker. I might stick it in the kitchen and use it as a dining table!

Paul I'd pay good money to watch you board and skim a 9ft high ceiling of that rickety telescopic job lol.
 
I have a couple of these for boarding normal height ceilings.

I had one of them from refina. I had no idea it was so big. Its great when you are standing on it but to move around its too big. It wouldnt fit on scaffold either. wish i read the sizes properly. I thought i was buying a normal size but the good quality ones :RpS_blink:

those metal sheets you get with them are shite arnt they? I cut up some flooring to fit on the top, I cut it the exact size of the platform and just cut around the hinges so it cant move anywhere
 
I didn't get a metal sheet with it. Bought it as just one of them folding ladders. But a 6ft plant on top works a treat.
 
the metal sheets where ok at first but they started to bend after a while, then one day there was some off cut flooring that fit bang on so i just cut out for the hinges and now its dead rate
 
sorta like the fella that was selling stilts on ebay then you looked at the pics and it was just celotex gaffer taped to his trainers haha :RpS_lol:
