MEWP in a road lane, protected by plastic cones from the absolute retards you encounter on the roads in their 50 mph, 1000 kg darwinism boxes.

If you sit one in road back up cones with truck parked either side of it. And tell traffic management if being use and they will cone off long distance so you are safer.

a tree this defective should never be climbed. Mewp if safe to do so with correct drop zones/ exclusion zones keeping mewp as far away as possible, cut small ect. good luck

I am not trying to be smug here, but if you have your own (decent) mewp, would it not make sense to use it? It is understandably easy to argue something is ok to climb if using a mewp involves the hassle of hiring in. I don't worry about idiots in cars etc hitting my mewp's legs when it is on the road. I quote the customer for proper traffic management, and shield the mewp with other vehicles/chipper etc. If customer isn't happy with the cost of this they can get someone else in.
