   *aj,not quite like that. the plank is about 20" wide, back shelf a little less. got side rails and advertising tarp. But I don't have to put any brackets until the first 24 feet, then just one more if I feel like it.Broke one bracket setting it up this afternoon, snapped right off. Good thing I wasn't up there yet.Hey, they should make these things convert to wall jacks, do double duty. Then they could sell me more attachments. Wonder if they've thought of that yet?

   *MD- I like the idea of the dual purpose but I bet OSHA wouldn't be inclined to agree!

   *I really dont see anything wrong with the old style pump jacks.The local fire dept. loves the donation I give them when ever I need to get down.

   *For me, it was a no brainer. It's all about safety and speed. Makes something I used to dread seem fun. Plus, I'll have to get a banner for "free" advertising!
