Road/Rail Cherrypicker.

I photographed this piece of machinery in Buxton on the 19th of November 2010;


Closer view;



The other side;



It comes with a dinky little trailer;


The rail wheels, note the drive band that runs against the rubber tyre;



The cage;


And finally, because its my blog, a cute puppy (as he was then);


Paul.

    A fab bit of kit! I wonder what the trailer is all about...there doesn't seem to be a driving position with the cherry picker except from within the basket, and I'm intrigued as to how it makes progress along the track, or the road for that matter. I would say perhaps the trailer was for someone to stand on while driving, but not in these safety conscious times! The puppy- super cute!

    The trailer looks to have some little ramps in it, presumably to help position the machine on the rails. From what I remember the only controls were in the basket. Must be interesting to drive!

    Small Dog is now four, and still as cute!
