COURSE OVERVIEW
Many things we have to work on are not within reach. There are times we need a little help using aerial lifts. Sometimes ladders are chosen, other times fixed scaffolds, and still other times mobile equipment like aerial lifts (also referred to as an articulating boom/bucket lifts) and scissor lifts.
