Hi folks,
I'm new on here so please bear with me.
I work for a network engineering company and we have to install non-penetrative mounts on flat roofs to then install antennas on the pole in the mount. In order to weigh them down we use 450mm x 450mm slabs (the mounts are designed to take these).
My issue is we have no perceived safe way to carry these up ladders to the roofs, so we have to end up carrying them under one arm to the roof and this means loss of three point of contact. Sometimes we also have to get them up through enclosed roof access ladders which precludes the use of a back pack.
There are hoist systems available but these need ballast to work so is self defeating.
Has anyone any experience with this or any better ideas how we can do this I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
