  1. We've had this one a 18 months now before this one we had a 22m on a sprinter from the same manufacturer for 9 years very solid reliable machines but German and expensive you get what you pay for I think with mewps
  2. NO Plastics just been in the game for over 25 years and always tried to buy good kit then work it hard
  3. From the photo it looks as if the front jack is visible,I know the H.S.E findings were that the jacks slipped off the pads but to me the configuration of the machine does not look right , you do not see many crew cab mewps normally on a single cab mewp the jacks are much further forward ,the ground conditions look o.k .Sprinter and Cabstar are fine as carrier chassis's that's all they are the devils in the detail ,the subframe,jacking system and controlled work parameters of the machines having owned and operated these type of machine doing tree work for over 17 years the latest one being 27 meter on a cabstar I feel they are safe but this doesn't help this poor worker who was injured I hope he recovers well.
